Passing Of The Year

Setting texts by William Blake, Emily Dickinson, George Peele, Thomas Nash and Alfred Lord Tennyson, 'The Passing of the Year' for double chorus (SSAATTBB) and piano is a beautiful meditation on the passage of time, and has firmly established itself as a contemporary classic choral work. Jonathan Dove is one of the world's most popular and successful composers of choral music and his many pieces for voices are in the repertoires of choirs across the globe. His music is direct and expressively communicative, and written with a deep understanding of the human voice. This vocal score from Edition Peters is produced with the needs of the practical performer uppermost in mind.
