Choral Works (inc. Oratorios).
For: SSA a cappella.

Women's Choir (commissioned by MUSE, Cincinnati's Women's Choir, artistic director Catherine Roma, for first performance in Cincinnati, November 22nd, 2008).
Contents: The Bourne - The Pancake (round for 3 voices) - Lullaby (canon a 2 with ostinati) - No friend like a sister - The Swallow (round for 4 voices) - Home by Different Ways - Canzonet (canon a 2) -- These settings of poems by Christina Rossetti are composed for women's voices and intended for amateur choir. Any selection from this collection may be made, and the songs sung in any order. Conductors may use solo voices, small groups, or large choirs, as they wish. If instrumental support is needed, they could be doubled by melody instruments, but keyboard (useful in rehearsal) is not suitable in performance. They may also br transposed: for example, "Lullaby" could be transposed up a semitone, and violins used to play the ostinati. -- Nicola LeFanu was born in England to Irish parents, on April 28th, 1947. She studied at Oxford, the Royal College of Music, and Harvard, and currently is Professor of Music at the University of York.
Composed 2008.
