Repertoire Note
Choral level of difficulty: Level 3 (5 greatest)
An atmospheric piece which is straightforward but a little more challenging than some of MacMillan’s ‘entry level’ choral pieces (the altos divide for a short passage). The composer is a natural dramatist and this is another example of a work which will paint pictures in the mind of the attentive listener and create a lasting impression. It needs a competent organist and preferably an instrument with fair-sized resources to do the piece justice.
