Bard's Eye View: Three Shakespeare Settings for SATB choir with small orchestra or piano

for SATB and small orchestra or piano This characterful trio of Shakespeare settings draws together popular texts from Twelfth Night, Much Ado About Nothing, and the sonnets into a charming and playful concert work. The witty 'O mistress mine' has a lilting, bluesy feel, while 'Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?' is highly evocative of its titular season. Finally, the waltz-like 'Sigh no more, ladies', complete with sweeping string gestures and a delightful 'hey nonny, nonny' refrain, brings the set to a high-spirited conclusion.
