Author Description

Product Description for SSA and pianoThis work for upper voices with a text by the composer was inspired by members of the Radcliffe Ladies' Choir and their motto 'friendship through singing'. The lilting vocal lines are subtly underpinned by a delicate piano accompaniment, and the opening performance direction, 'contentedly rocking',describes the overall nature of the piece: peaceful, content, and easy-going.
