Composed by Gabriel Jackson. Secular Choral - Mixed Voices. New Horizons. Secular, Choral Leaflet. Vocal score. 12 pages. Duration 6'. Oxford University Press #9780193369245. Published by Oxford University Press (OU.9780193369245).ISBN 9780193369245. 10 x 7 inches.
For SATB (with divisions) unaccompanied. This atmospheric piece sets a haunting secular text by Doris Kareva. In style it is contemplative with a clear, expansive melody, and Jackson skilfully conjures up a sense of the undulations of a ship at sea through the lilting lines of the accompanying voices.
