Description
Instrumentation Genre Vocal
Tag choir
Collaborators Mohamed Assaf
Collaboration details Mohamed Assaf, poet
Duration 4 minutes
Instrumentation Soprano [2 players]; Alto [2 players]; Tenor [2 players]; Bass [2 players]; Mezzo-soprano [2 players]
For moderate to advanced SATB choir with some divisi (could be done with 2 people per part, would work better with 4 or more). The piece includes several key changes.
The words are by Mohamed Assaf, a Syrian refugee who now lives in England, and were written soon after his arrival in England at the age of 12. They are also published in England: Poems from a School (published by Picador; edited by Kate Clanchy, Mohamed’s teacher). Thank you to Kate and Mohamed for giving me permission to use this heartbreaking text.
