Choral music

Starfire

"Starfire" was written in 2000, originally for a capella female voices (SS.AA) for trombonist and choir-leader Viola Engelbrecht and her group "VokaLiesen" in Frankfurt. Since then I've also arranged it for mixed choir (SATB)

The music is slightly swinging- with snapping fingers and jazz harmonies. The lyrics are an ode to the Nepalese night sky (or was it Peru?..) anyway, somewhere high in the mountains, far from human lights and habitation, where the dazzle of the starlight comes into its own.

Length: 3'20"
Information about ordering the music can be found on the "contact" page- see link above.
