Description
SSATB choir, piano & optional clarinet
SKU: EC.7.0617
Composed by Stephen Chatman. Secular, 21st century. Octavo. Galaxy Music Corporation #7.0617. Published by Galaxy Music Corporation (EC.7.0617).ISBN 600313706172. UPC: 600313706172.
Commissioned by the Winnepeg Philharmonic Choir, this is the second of a set of two pieces for SATB (divisi,) piano, and optional clarinet. (There is a brief mezzo or treble solo in this movement.) This Christina Rossetti text is touching and poignant, "When I am dead, my dearest, Sing no sad songs for me." The soprano is divisi throughout, the baritones divide in one measure and that's the extent of the divisi. A sad, ironic ("and if thou wilt, forget") and totally memorable piece.
