Sheet Music: ScoreSinging the Love : for SATB chorus / Ross Edwards.by Ross Edwards (2018)

Product details
A dancing, swaying setting of the joyful Psalm 100 from the King
James Bible gradually takes on attributes of traditional ritual
chant seeking absorption into the unfathomable mystery of life. I
think the Lord who is praised here (in all the lands) may be seen
as a universal symbol of wholeness: of an all-embracing love
capable of binding together and harmonising everything in the
universe. The text is progressively splintered, with some
elements playfully subjected
to varied repetition, and others stretched out to suggest pools
of quiet contemplation. The opening lines, with their exhortation
to sing, recur as a refrain.
Singing the Love is intended as a celebration of the whole
of life, and in particular the love between Ray Turner and
Jennifer Seabrook. Jennifer generously funded the commission for
the Choir of King's College, Cambridge and Musica Viva Australia,
in honour and celebration of Ray's 75th birthday.
