Howard Skempton: Orpheus With His Lute: Mixed Choir: Vocal Score

This item is not available anymore with the seller Musicroom

Format : Vocal Score

This is a simple and elegant miniature in characteristic Skempton style with graceful choral homophony seamlessly fluctuating time signatures and hypnotic meandering harmonies. The text by William Shakespeare is an homage to music as Orpheus's singing makes the trees and mountains bow and the sea hang its head and lay by.
