William Shakespeare's famous sonnet ('Let me not to the marriage of true minds Admit impediments'), often used at weddings and civilceremonies, is here set to beautiful, fresh music by young composer Ed Rex. The mostly homophonic setting employs the composer's distinctive close harmonies, which, together with short phrases and natural rhythm, serve to add greater meaning to the poignant andmoving text. Spells of parallel and contrary motion in the inner parts are intended in some way to reflect important elements of thecommitment two people make to each other in marriage or partnership. Sonnet 116 is sure to add an unforgettable moment to a happy couple's special day, and would also be an excellent addition to concerts using a theme of love.
