Peter
Maxwell Davies' 1990 work
for unaccompanied SATB
choir, written for the
BBC singers. Words by
George Mackay Brown.
'Written for the BBC
Singers, this piece
requires a high level of
choral expertise in its
rhythms, intricate
textures (though nearly
always in four parts),
wide-ranging vocal lines
and characteristically
dark but luminous
harmony, impregnated with
tritones and seconds. Not
for the first time,
Davies and George Mackay
Brow follow the Stations
of the Cross, though the
fourteen sections are
joined into a continuous
slow-fast-slow musical
movement, and the
references to the events
of Holy Week are oblique.
Vocal score with piano
accompaniment for
rehearsal purposes.
