Composed by Joshua Tyra. Celtic,Contemporary. Octavo. 19 pages. Joshua Tyra #6080323. Published by Joshua Tyra (A0.953899).A lilting, lyrical SATB ballad with original lyrics by the composer. The words are in Breton, a Celtic language closely related to Welsh that is spoken only in the region of Brittany (the northwestern peninsula of France).
A complete pronunciation guide, English translation, and notes on the language are included. The YouTube video of the premiere performance may be consulted as a pronunciation reference, and additional pronunciation resources are available from the composer.
The long rising and falling phrases and the relentless, rolling arpeggios of the piano part are meant to evoke the rise and fall of the ocean waves that surround Brittany on three sides along its hundreds of miles of breathtakingly beautiful coastline.
This piece was composed for the Counterpoints choir of North Vigo High School, Terre Haute, Indiana, under the direction of Michelle Azar. It was first performed on October 24, 2017 under the direction of the composer.
