Product Description

'May You Always Be Joyful' sets a biblical text from the New Testament (Philippians 4:4-9, in the New International Version). This setting is presented here in a version for solo mezzo-soprano voice and piano. The piece aims to give appropriate musicial expression to the text. Several key ideas, motifs and chords recur, and are juxtaposed in a mosaic-like manner. The piece focuses on harmonies with added augmented fourths, reminiscent of Messiaen, in an attempt to express joy or even ecstasy. The influence of Berio (Folksongs) can be seen in the doubling, colouring, and sustaining of the vocal line by the piano, creating an 'accidental' form of harmony, as well as supporting the singer. The piece is appropriate for most standards of singer and pianist. The original version of this work, for solo mezzo soprano, wind quintet and piano, is also available from Sheet Music Plus.
Duration: 5 minutes.
