Venezuelan composer Beatriz Bilbao offers us Encore Un Mystere for mixed choir a cappella. The poem belongs to the Philosophical Sonnets of the Count of Saint Germain a renowned spiritual and philosophical guru.

The core exploration of the idea of nothing so eloquently expressed in the text is explored at the third and final section where the voices freely express sounds of murmurs whispers breaths etc. while the dynamic contour moves from mezzo-piano to nothing. A beautiful piece to program in fall and spring concerts for collegeand community choirs. Medium in difficulty.
