Howard Skempton
THE VOICE OF THE SPIRITS
for unaccompanied mixed voice choir
Oxford Contemporary Repertoire/New Horizons Series  | The text is taken from Shelley´s epic poem Prometheus Unbound. Skempton sets passages in which a Chorus of Hours and a Chorus of Spirits celebrate in ecstatic language the unshackling of the human spirit through the enlightenment of science. Written in his customary style of great simplicity, Skempton´s hypnotic score beautifully captures the visionary lyricism of the poetry: long lyrical sections in two different keys distinguish the hopes and fears of the Hours and the Spirits before they are united in song at the end of the piece.
