From the Cantus-Music for Men's Voices Choral Series
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From the publisher:
The song's popularity is perhaps due to the sweet, yet fresh, melody that contains no inner melodic repetitions. The tune invites rich harmonies, and because the text is both sad and poignant, (the arranger) has tried to provide a varied and highly expressive setting. Close attention to accurate vertical intonation, balance, and vowel uniformity, with long-line phrasing shaped by abundant rubato and fully expressive dynamics will give shape, poignancy, power, and coherence to this arrangement for men's voices.
About Cantus:
Founded in 1995 at St. Olaf College, Cantus is a twelve-member professional male vocal ensemble which is fast becoming one of the most sought-after groups in the country. Its mission is two-fold. As a performing ensemble, Cantus sings challenging and diverse choral literature that spans all musical periods and genres. As a proponent of music education, Cantus actively promotes male singing by conducting workshops, performing at festivals, and providing new music for male choral groups.
