Nocturnes, No. 4. Composed by Morten Lauridsen. Octavo. Los Angeles Master Chorale conducted by Grant Gershon at the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, CA. Choral. Performance Score. Peermusic Classical #62330-122. Published by Peermusic Classical (PR.623301220).UPC: 680160572977. Text: Rainer Maria Rilke.
According to the composer, Voici le soir is designed as an epilogue to his well-known choral cycle Nocturnes, and should be performed only when the entire cycle is programmed, as an extension to Sure On This Shining Night. In its entirety, Lauridsen's Nocturne cycle recalls the opening motives of Sa Nuit d'ete, and was premiered by the Los Angeles Master Chorale conducted by Grant Gershon at the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles on May 4, 2008. The words of poet Rainer Maria Rilke are set against rich, jazz-tinged modal harmonies and bell sounds in the Nocturnes, and this Epilogue finally completes the cycle with a dark, haunting finish. For high school or university choirs.
