In his String Quartet (1956) Arne Nordheim used the title EPITAFFIO for the third and last movement. And in 1963 he used this title again, now for a complete work: Epitaffio per orchestra ed nastro magnetico. This orchestral work incorporates the Quasimodo text, sung by a children's chorus, on a tape accompanying the orchestra towards the end of the piece. The present choral version was arranged and typeset by Andrew Smith, based on the instrumental movement from the string quartet, as well as the choral treatment in the orchestral setting.

Soaring melodic lines combine with a lush harmonic palette to deliver a poignant reflection in this 21 minute reflection on coming-of-age, maturity, and perspective. This five-movement for choir, oboe, and horn (opt. string quartet) is a shimmering setting of the words of William Wordsworth. A wonderful secular multi-movement work that is a perfect centerpiece for your community and collegiate concert.

This beloved text from Elizabeth Frye, simply set for choir, features a lyric melody with organ or piano accompaniment and optional string quartet. This is the first movement from the larger work. A wonderful choice that is easy to learn in limited rehearsal time and can serve as a concert piece or a touching memorial.
