Epilogue-Voici le soir from "Nocturnes": arr. Morten Lauridsen (SATB w/ accomp)

Be the first to review this product

According to the composer, Voici le soir is designed as an epilogue to his well-known choral cycle Nocturnes, and should be performed only when the entire cycle is programmed, as an extension to Sure On This Shining Night. In its entirety, Lauridsen's 'Nocturnes' cycle recalls the opening motives of Sa Nuit d'Été. The words of poet Rainer Maria Rilke are set against rich, jazz-tinged modal harmonies and bell sounds in the Nocturnes, and this Epilogue finally completes the cycle with a dark, haunting finish.
