Description:
Set for SATB chorus, SATB soloists, and keyboard, (optional orchestra: 2 flutes, 2 clarinets, 2 horns, 2 bassoons, strings) this work is accessible and gratifying for high school and collegiate choral ensembles. As a noble, Anna Amalia Herzogin von Sachen (1739-1807), became one of most significant female composers of the classical period. Her style is definitively classical with the lyric choral writing, tertian harmonies, coloratura solo work, solo quartet, and gentle cadential phrase closures. Yet, the instrumental consort has vestiges of Baroque aesthetics in its use of acontinuoaccompaniment. For high school, community and college choirs. Medium difficulty.
