Observations on Singing (1995)
Text of William Byrd set for SSA-TTB/piano. The observations of the 16th century English composer, William Byrd, are as meaningful today as when he first penned them. The benefits of singing-- particularly in a group-- are immeasurable and it is most appropriate to proclaim God's praises with the singing voice. In a madrigal/Renaissance style. Fun to sing, a challenge for choristers and a joy for the audience.
