Shoal : six unaccompanied voices / Damien Ricketson ; based on a text by Les Murray.
Library shelf no. 783.16554/RIC 1 [Available for loan]
Work Overview
Like a shoal of fish, the vocal ensemble is conceived of as a collective unity, both multifarious and singular at the same time - loosening, tightening, drifting apart and snapping together in unison. Ebbing between solo and chorale, the individual and the community, a polyphony of seemingly separate elements aggregate towards a self-conscious whole.
