Choral Passacaglia
Product Details
Description
Commissioned by the Armenian State Symphony Orchestra and Chorus for a commemorative event in 2022, this work presents the composer's celebrated Passcaglia for string orchestra of 1995 in a new scoring for chorus and string orchestra or organ. Setting the text of the Agnus Dei, the piece will fit a range of performance options both sacred and secular and venues from large to small. Choirs of all sizes can now present this short but powerful musical statement in programmes of a general nature, and specifically those focussing on remembrance or peace.
String orchestra performance materials available on hire from Boosey& Hawkes.
