SEVEN SONGS OF MARY (bk)
£11.99
John L. Bell
A choral song cycle
This collection gives an unusually rounded picture of the mother of Jesus, depicted as a full-blooded woman who is vivacious, sad, resentful, ponderous & exhilarated as the occasion demands.
Of the 7 choral songs, 5 are based on folk tunes and most also employ a soprano soloist. Musically more demanding than the other collections, the songs may also be sung separately, with or without the recitative.
A combined recording of Seven Songs of Mary and Seven Psalms of David features The Cathedral Singers of Chicago, with guest soloist Mhairi Lawson (ex-WGWG), and John Bell conducting.
7 songs/ 47 pages.
