Treble-voice a cappella arrangement of Dance Me To The End Of Love, by Leonard Cohen.  SSAA, with S1 and S2 solos.  This arrangement begins with an unmeasured, medieval music-influenced statement of the opening 2 phrases sung by the whole the choir split into 2 parts.  The arrangement as a whole is lush, with lovely rhythmic variations, including a swing section inspired by Boswell sisters or other female vocal groups from the 1930's and 40's.  It is a bit of an epic treatment of this song, really builds nicely throughout, returning to the opening material at the end of the song.  Stunning.
