Chorus Choir (SATB) - Level 2 - Digital Download
SKU: A0.1248144
By D.G. Rossetti. Composed by Ralph Vaughan Williams. Arranged by Christopher Santanelli. This edition: pdf. 20th Century, Contest, Festival. Octavo. 8 pages. Christopher Santanelli #842706. Published by Christopher Santanelli (A0.1248144).Ralph Vaughan Williams’ beloved art song Silent Noon (text by D.G. Rossetti) is beautifully reimagined in this lush arrangement, offering choirs a rich and evocative addition to the concert stage. The piece unfolds with warm, expansive harmonies and a flowing piano accompaniment that mirrors the pastoral imagery of “long fresh grass” and “golden king-cup fields.” This arrangement preserves the lyricism of the original while expanding the choral texture through expressive part writing, dynamic swells, and carefully shaped climaxes. A tender, almost a cappella moment near the end creates a breathtaking sense of stillness before the final, glowing resolution. Ideal for intermediate or advanced high school, collegiate, and community choirs seeking refined English repertoire, this arrangement combines Romantic warmth, poetic sensitivity, and rich harmonic color in a deeply moving concert work.
