Composition

For hire only.

This We Call Being

Words by Walt Whitman. Semi-chorus (SS A), double choir, flute, tam-tam, three trombones.

Approximately 18 minutes.

First performed by the Birmingham Conservatoire Choir, conductor Julian Pike, at Adrian Boult Hall, Birmingham, February 1998.

This is a beautiful and often surprising piece which ought to appeal to the large audience already captured by Taverner and Pärt, yet offers a more complex and thought-provoking experience. Calum MacDonald, Tempo (C.U.P) July 1998.
