Detailed Description
SKU: A0.1794517
By William Shakespeare. By Katherine Wiseman. This edition: pdf. Chamber, Contemporary, Historic, Medieval, Renaissance. Score. 3 pages. Katie Wiso #1354709. Published by Katie Wiso (A0.1794517).This piece is an original setting of Come Away, Death from Twelfth Night, using William Shakespeare’s text. The vocal melody and harpsichord part are newly composed and written specifically for this setting.
The music is shaped around the text, with clear declamation and space for expressive phrasing. The writing draws on Renaissance performance practice and stylistic features, while remaining a contemporary composition rather than a pastiche. The harpsichord part is independent and closely tied to the vocal line, contributing to the overall character and pacing of the song.
The vocal range is suited to alto or mezzo-soprano, and the piece may be transposed to suit other voice types if required.
This score is one of five original vocal settings drawn from Twelfth Night. Each piece in the set approaches Shakespeare’s text differently, offering performers a small, coherent group of works suitable for recital or theatrical use.
Suitable for intermediate to advanced singers.
