SATB choir with some divisi, a cappella - Medium Difficult/Difficult

SKU: PL.9635

Composed by Gerald Hendrie. Choral, General. Choral score. Paraclete Press #9635. Published by Paraclete Press (PL.9635).

Gerald Hendrie was inspired by the texts of the Roman philosopher Boethius to create these "Four Consolations" which reflect on the subject of death. Writing in a neo-classical style, Mr. Hendrie creates powerful images from the text with the use of varied textures and angular writing for the voices. The harmony is enhanced by chromaticism while the rhythms reflect the changing thoughts of the text. This piece will be a gratifying challenge to the accomplished choir and would be appropriate for both service and concert.
