Product Description

I originally wrote Total Eclipse as an expressive Art Song for solo voice and piano. I used several lines of poetry from Newburgh Hamilton (1741) and set them to unique music that is a fusion of Classical, Romantic, and Modern, with a touch of Pop. The music expressively drifts from major to minor to modal every few measures, inspired by the themes of darkness and light. When I adapted it for SATB I filled out the already rich harmony and added ethereal 'oo's under some of the melody. In a few brief measures, at different places, SAB each will have a divisi line where it splits to 2 parts. (The texture is never thicker than 5 parts at once.) This approachable piece of music is a good introduction for singers to the interpretation of an Art Song and is a dramatic performance piece for concert.
(Haydn also used variations of this text to create several Recitatives and an Aria for his oratorio Samson.)
