A Tree of Song - SSA Bob Chilcott

A Tree of Song
for femal chorus (SSAA) a cappella (piano only for rehearsal)
score

A bright and breezy piece with a charming text by Charles Bennett, A Tree of Song begins with a jaunty 7/8 figure which recurs throughout the piece, with a spirited melody floating above. Alternation between passages of 4/4 and 7/8 gives a lively offbeat feel, with the piece only taking on a darker tone in a brief central section.
