Choristers Guild The Wind Gives Voice to the Trees - Gilpin - SATB

Composer: Greg Gilpin
Format: Choral Octavo
Voicing: SATB with piano accompaniment

Exuding mystery and modal nuances, this concert/festival showpiece features the composer's own original text. It is filled with word painting and rich imagery about how trees stand silently, and it is only until the wind blows or when "nature breathes" that they make a sound with their rustling leaves and branches. There is also an underlying important message about how all of nature works together. Rich harmonies and haunting melodies are supported by the interesting accompaniment which weaves a wind-like pattern. A Learning Resource Page is included.
