About

Multi-award-winning Sean Shibe, widely recognised as the leading guitarist of his generation, joins Delphian regulars The Choir of King’s College London in these beguilingly conceived works by Shibe’s friend and compatriot Lliam Patterson, for the rare combination of choir with electric guitar.

Say it to the still world casts Shibe as Orpheus with his lyre, in a work which draws fragments of text from poetry by Rilke to meditate on language, loss and the transcendent power of song. Elegy for Esmeralda is a rawer, angrier response to grief, while poppies spread – composed especially, like the other two works, for the performers who bring it to life here – is a further testament to art’s ability to reflect and transform the outer world.

Reviews

Christmas 2021

This set of works for choir and electric guitar calms and hypnotises. The guitar is at the forefront of the mix, creating ethereal textures which seem to shimmer. The text is felt viscerally, exploring grief, loss and the power of song.

February 2022

Circling around everything is Shibe’s guitar, which acts as a kind of musical magnet, drawing the choir’s sound into its own orbit, while simultaneously radiating the sense of hope that lies behind Rilke’s words and Paterson’s poignant setting of them.
