A piece I did last year for my music assessment... Unfortunately I haven't been able to record it (it's for SSA, 2 pianos and cello) so you'll have to cope with the midi and sibelius file. My choir is currently practicing it so hopefully I can get a recording about June/July this year (but we have no cello and only one piano). It's hella hard XD;; I never expected it to be sung by a real choir so it was more of an intellectual exercise for me... anyway. I'm proud of it <3
Inspiration mostly from Stephen Leek's Ngana and various other pieces.
LYRICS: (also by me)
oh! sky.
the empty mournful blue
shines down in thoughtful radiance.
a cloud, or two may
flit across the face of one so hollow.
oh! sky.
the greying eye
weeps, in shades of dull.
And then....
The storm heralds its own coming in such triumph
oh with raging calls to all
who may lend their ear
In vain, in vain it cries, it knows
For who shall answer
a stormcall?
Fading....
blue.
