Gerda Blok-Wilson’s new composition of Emily Dickinson’s “There Came a Wind Like a Bugle†is a lively setting for SA voices with piano accompaniment. It portrays the arrival of a powerful wind and tells of its effects on the surroundings and impending disaster it brings. The piece has an ominous, almost supernatural sense that is driving to the end.Although the choral or duet piece would work at any time of year, it could set the tone for a Halloween concert, adding an eerie atmosphere and sense of mystery.Beautiful demo recording by ROCKY MOUNTAIN CHAMBER CHOIR - https://www.rockymountainchamberchoir.com/ Visit: www.gerdablokwilson.ca for a comprehensive selection of UPPER, LOWER and MIXED VOICE RepertoirGreat festival selection!YouTube: https://youtu.be/7elBk2jDogkSuggested themes: Nature’s powerFear of the unknownImpermanence and changeResilienceThe Inevitability of Fate. #ChoralMusic #EmilyDickinson #ChoralComposer #ChoirLife #PoetryInMusic #ChoralMagic #ChoralCanada #UpperVoices #Piano #FestivalSelection #GerdaBlok #rmccvc Social Media informationYoutube: Cansing ChoralInstagram: gerdachoralcomposerFaceBook: Gerda Blok-WilsonTwitter: @BlokWilsonThreads: gerdachoralcomposer Email: gerda.blokwilson@gmail.com for information about individual practice files.
