Opis

for SSA and piano Originally published as part of the Songbird collection As you sing, this is a beautiful and modern setting of a traditional text, popularised by Orlando Gibbons' well-known madrigal 'The silver swan'. Tarney draws upon the themes of nature, love, life, and loss to create melodies that are yearning and flowing, and supports the voices with a graceful and delicate piano accompaniment.
