Description

mural is a book of individual pieces, for 1-4 voices of an SATB quartet, each a page long. There is no specific way in which they should be ordered or arranged in a performance. However, if there are two quartets of singers they may sing the pieces in an overlapped antiphonal sequence.

The project was made possible by generous funding from The Hinrichsen Foundation.

Texts selected from:
Bowey, Rutherford & Westerberg: Birds of Gateshead
John Cage: writings
critiques of Vermeer’s painting The Little Street
Fernando Pessoa/Alberto Caeiro: The Keeper of Sheep
