Choir Secular For Upper Voices and Piano or Orchestra
SKU: PE.EP73416A
For High Voices and Piano (or Orchestra). Composed by James Burton. Arranged by Robert Macfarlane; Art by Jackie Morris. Choir Book. Edition Peters. Book. 68 pages. Duration 00:32:00. Edition Peters #98-EP73416A. Published by Edition Peters (PE.EP73416A).
ISBN 9790577018577. 210 x 297 mm inches. English.
The Lost Words by composer James Burton takes its inspiration and text from the award-winning 'cultural phenomenon' and book of the same name by Robert Macfarlane and Jackie Morris: a book that was, in turn, a creative response to the removal of everyday nature words like acorn, newt and otter from a new edition of a widely used children's dictionary. Both the book and Burton's 32-minute work, which is written in 12 short movements for upper-voice choir in up to 3 voice parts (with either orchestral or piano accompaniment), celebrates each lost word with a beautiful poem or 'spell', magically brought to life in Burton's music. At its heart, the work delivers a powerful message about the need to close the gap between childhood and the natural world. Burton's piece was co-commissioned by the Hallé Concerts Society for the Hallé Children's Choir and the Boston Symphony Orchestra. The piano accompaniment version was premiered at the Tanglewood Festival in 2019 by the Boston Symphony Children's Choir, of which Burton is founder and director. The Hallé Children's Choir will premiere the orchestral version of the full work in Manchester, UK, post-pandemic.
