Description
Solo Voice and Orchestra (soprano voice and chamber orchestra: percussion, piano/celeste, harp, strings) - Advanced
SKU: SF.SEA-040-05
Composed by Elizabeth Alexander. Full score. With Text language: English. Duration 8 minutes. Published by Seafarer Press (SF.SEA-040-05).Text by Rose Auslander.
Three songs of longing, loss and love, based on poems by Rose Auslander, who spent the Second World War in the Czernowitz ghetto. Alexander sets Auslander's stark and compelling words to music with delicacy, ferocity and compassion. This showpiece for two pianos calls for a strong sense of rhythm and a playful sense of ensemble between the pianists. These three songs, scored for soprano, percussion, piano/celeste, harp and strings, are the central movements of a larger work for soprano and full orchestra, "So Many Corners."
