Brunner, David - Spiritual Musick (Treble voices, Percussion & Piano)

Based on a Christopher Smart text also memorably used in Benjamin Britten's Rejoice in the Lamb, this version is set for treble voices with piano and a little band of snare drum, bass drum and triangle. It's a rhythmic, angular, declamatory recitation of the instrument rhimes. Thirteen choirs from U.S.A., Canada and Scotland joined together to commission this work, and it serves as a strong selection for festival or concert choir performances. Duration: ca. 2:45.
