Fireworks
for SATB (divisi) a cappella (score:stainer)
2024
A fiery fantasia for unaccompanied choir combining chemical formulae with Victorian writer Charlotte Anne Eaton’s vivid account of fireworks at Rome’s Castel Sant’Angelo.
“Fireworks is a stand-out showcase of vocal pyrotechnics for any experienced choir and, from the first hissing fuse to the last whistling Catherine wheel, a brilliant addition to the genre of contemporary musical impressionism.” (Stainer and Bell)
