for SATB double choir unaccompanied
This setting of Orlando Gibbons and Catullus is a re-working of Gibbons's celebrated 17th-century madrigal (of the same title) for five voices. It retains the lilting depiction of the swan and the original composer's love of antiphonal effects and rich texture, providing an ideal platform for established choirs to explore tone, blend, and musical imagery.
