Opis

for SSATBB unaccompanied Skilfully set to the tender words of the poet E. E. Cummings, 'I carry your heart' is an unaccompanied secular work originally for men's voices, but rescored by the composer in this version for women and men. The piece was commissioned by the acclaimed close-harmony group, The King's Men, and was recorded on their album Love from King's.

Recenzje

Some composers have a happy knack of (sometimes) writing in a light manner which points towards a doo-be-doo style without ever actually getting there. One such is Toby Young, and I wholeheartedly recommend his part-song I carry your heart. Sopranos and altos could easily be split into three equal parts, and if there are few tenors, a baritone or two could be co-opted for much of the line. Easy to sing; easy on the ear, mind and heart; beautifully judged.
