for
SATB double choir
unaccompanied
A
setting of Shakespeare's
much-loved Sonnet 18,
Bednall's expressive work
highlights this timeless
text with sumptuous
harmony, including
pleasing tonal shifts and
topical false relations.
Various choral textures
are explored, from the
imitative lines of
'Sometime too hot', to
the warm richness of the
closing pages, where the
choir divides into eight
parts. This work is part
of the New Horizons
series and a piano
reduction is included for
rehearsal
purposes.

talent to a broad
spectrum of choirs. New
