Choral Choir, Choral (SATB Chorus) - Level 2 - Digital Download
SKU: A0.1308013
By Richard deCosta. Composed by Richard deCosta. Arranged by Richard deCosta. This edition: pdf. 20th Century, Chamber, Contemporary, Film/TV, New Age. 5 pages. Richard deCosta #897290. Published by Richard deCosta (A0.1308013).

Engage in the enigmatic realm of William Blake's "O Rose Thou Art Sick" with this minimalist choral arrangement, mirroring a stylistic essence akin to renowned repetitive minimalist composers. The narrative unfolds through a tapestry of deliberate, recurring motifs, creating a gentle yet persistent whisper that echoes the haunting beauty of Blake’s metaphor. The choir and organ engage in a mesmerizing interplay, where the organ's trance-like repetitive elements lay a hypnotic foundation for the choir's reflective voyage through the delicate interplay between beauty, innocence, and the inexorable touch of affliction. The harmonies loop and entwine in a subtle, entrancing dance, unfolding the narrative of the Rose and the invisible worm, leading to a profound, resonant silence that lingers beyond the final note. This composition is more than a musical piece; it's a meditative journey through cycles of hope, beauty, and melancholy, awaiting the tender embrace of a contemplative choir.
The Sick Rose
By William Blake
O Rose thou art sick.
The invisible worm,
That flies in the night
In the howling storm:
Has found out thy bed
Of crimson joy:
And his dark secret love
Does thy life destroy.
