About

for SATB unaccompanied In Grown about by fragrant bushes, Skempton sets a poem by Robert Louis Stevenson using gentle, lilting melodies. The theme of loss is sensitively conveyed in a tonal language that is made more expressive through the use of chromaticism. The voices move homophonically throughout and changing time signatures aid the movement of the piece.

Reviews

Skempton uses warm, lilting melodies when referring to the natural world but also employs touches of chromaticism and changing key signatures when alluding to human loss with the words 'Between which our brief life' and 'Flashes a moment and goes out'...[I]f you are looking for a standout piece, this beautiful, short work will be a highly distinctive choice within any programme
