Opis

for SSAA, piano duet, and percussion This is a charming set of eight short movements, beautifully and intelligently setting some of Shakespeare's best-loved words. Ideal for upper-voice choirs looking for something interesting and accessible, each movement creates a new atmosphere, from jaunty and angular to mysterious and atmospheric.
