Setting the stirring poem “The Wild Swans at Coole” by W. B. Yeats, Christopher Matthews has crafted a striking new work for SSA voices and piano. Originally planned as a companion piece to his ever-popular “The Arrow and the Song,” Christopher soon realized that Yeats’ poem allowed for, and even required a deeper, more expansive musical treatment. Careful attention to voice leading and vocal ranges makes this title suitable for a wide range of treble choirs or sections. The piano which both serves as ambience and as partner to the vocal lines, fits well beneath the hands and will give your accompanist an opportunity to shine. Take a look and listen today and don’t forget to check out the “Related Items” and use the “SSA” tag to view more titles for treble voices.
