The Right of Your Senses (Study Score): For Soprano Solo, Children's Choir and Orchestra

Mehr zum Buch

Exploring the theme of creation, this choral work features nine songs for children's voices, solo soprano, and orchestra, drawing from 17th-century texts by Thomas Traherne and George Herbert, along with an 11th-century piece. The music contrasts bright and tumultuous movements, with a recurring descending string pattern that unifies the piece. Notable sections include playful elements reminiscent of Britten's work and a serene conclusion that encourages faithfulness. The final movement concludes with the resonant sound of high bells, encapsulating the piece's emotional depth.
