The
coal seller is a song for
SCTB a cappella by Paul
Ladmirault. The song was
written with a main
theme, two variations and
a coda, and features a
total of 5 verses. The
lyrics remind us of a
time when coal sellers
came to town to sell
merchandise. To be sung a
cappella, all in
andantino, this song is
very lyrical and has some
polyphonic aspects and
some merismas. Each verse
contains different
lyrics, all revolving
around the coal seller
and his life: - Verse 1:
this verse settles the
action, with the seller
trying to sell coal in
the city - Verse 2: the
seller is asked how much
is the cost of a pound of
coal - Verse 3: he is
asked where his wife is -
Verse 4: the beauty of
his wife is highlighted -
Verse 5: the seller
explains why his shirt is
so black Paul Ladmirault
(1877-1944) was a French
composer. He composed
numerous pieces
including: operas,
ballets, orchestral
works, chamber music and
vocal music..
