Toby Young

Opis

for SATB unaccompanied This is an energetic setting of a text by Jennifer Thorp that celebrates and encourages festivities during Christmas time. With a fast tempo, Young's lively melodies are full of syncopated rhythms and supported by colourful harmonies in the accompanying voices. A rhythmic ostinato throughout reinforces an alternative Christmas message from the poet: 'oh come and dance'!
