New-Made For A King MC MILLAN JAMES

Classique

Description :

A setting of a poem from nativity "Her Maker's Maker" by Michael Symmons Roberts, "New-made for a king" was commissioned by Andreas Klatt for Farnham Youth Choir. Mainly Scored in four parts, the choral texture is homophonic, the harmony rich yet approachable by young performers, with a decorative piano accompaniment. In the mold of a lullaby, the room's over-riding is calm troubled Towards the close by indistinct pp. lontano interjections from the piano, in response to the poem's closing portentous words.
