for upper voices (SSAA) unaccompaniedThese two enjoyable and easy songs use riddle texts from the 17th and 18th centuries that are both haunting and rich with imagery.

Recenzii

A change of mood, with an excellent album of two short songs for SSAA unaccompanied. It is interesting to note that these were commissioned by the 1999 Elementary All-State Chorus of Louisiana, because as I sang through them, it seemed to me that these two songs would be ideal training material, given that they are not too difficult for beginners, yet offer a real challenge in harmony and rhythm. In short, they are not condescending, and have been composed by a master musician who knows his choirs! . . . Swansong, which is marked 'soft and gently rocking', opens with a few bars in canon, interrupted by two bars of block harmony, utilising nicely judged dissonances, which are ideal for ear training and ensemble, continuing and ending with a more extensive harmonic and rhythmic progression, not difficult and not too easy.
If need be sack your treasurer, and make it obligatory for the new one to purchase this little set. Mind you, with only six pages of music, not counting the cover, the cost will not break the bank, and if it does, what the heck? it is only money, and you'll get a lot of fun out of this welcome addition to your library.
Though short, these pieces are full of interesting moments - varied use of rhythm and metre, some effective harmonic colouring, opportunity for wide expressive interpretation and, all of this, within lines that any competent group of singers should be able to cope with. The overall impression and flavour is more abstract than the previous Chilcott pieces but Swansongs is certainly worth consideration.
