Chorus Choir (SSAATTBB) - Level 4 - Digital Download
SKU: A0.1800421
By Colin Mawby. By Colin Mawby. This edition: pdf. 21st Century, A Cappella, Classical. 4 pages. Romaeterna Cantores #1360615. Published by Romaeterna Cantores (A0.1800421).
Colin Mawby’s I Would Like to Be a Night for SATB choir is an introspective and emotionally restrained response to a poem by Aurelio Porfiri that reflects on longing, loss, and the fragile hope for renewal. The text juxtaposes the desire for dawn and new beginnings with the stark reality of a night marked by coldness, fog, and unfulfilled expectation, and Mawby translates this tension into a finely balanced choral meditation.
The musical language is understated and lyrical, allowing the words to remain at the center of the expressive narrative. Mawby shapes the vocal lines with great sensitivity, often using close harmony and gently shifting tonal centers to evoke an atmosphere of suspended time. Moments of harmonic warmth suggest the distant promise of light, while darker sonorities and restrained dynamics underline the poem’s sense of isolation and quiet sorrow.
Rather than offering dramatic contrast, the work unfolds with a controlled, almost confessional intensity, drawing the listener into an interior landscape of reflection. I Would Like to Be a Night stands as a poignant example of Mawby’s ability to engage with contemporary poetry, creating a choral work that is both musically refined and deeply human in its emotional resonance.
