Oh Sleep!
Product Details
Description
A welcome addition to this composer’s output of secular choral works, Oh Sleep! is a beautiful and lyrical setting which will be appreciated by choirs both amateur and professional. It was composed to mark the 90th birthday of Ayrshire Voices’ conductor, Raymond Bramwell. Coleridge’s timeless poetry is sensitively and touchingly evoked in MacMillan’s setting. The piano accompaniment serves by turns to set the mood, to underpin the voices and to complement them with a variety of textures.
