Lvland Rolf - You Raise Me Up

Le norvégien Rolf Løvland membre du groupe Secret Garden composa d?après un air traditionnel irlandais (Danny Boy) une chanson qu?il intitula dans un premier temps Silent Story. Il sollicita le parolier irlandais Brendan Graham d?écrire un texte pour cette mélodie. Le fantastique résultat You Raise Me Up est aujourd?hui à la portée de tout orchestre grâce à l?émouvant arrangement réalisé par Takashi Hoshide pour euphonium solo et orchestre d?harmonie.

Sleepsong is a rich, Celtic-inspired song for choirs looking to test their abilities with a new and exciting challenge. Released by Secret Garden in 2005, the song was written by Brendan Graham and Rolf Løvland who also penned the Westlife hit, You Raise Me Up . This beautiful and peaceful choral version has been arranged by Desmond Earley for six part chorus with Soprano solo. It was first performed by UCD Choral Scholars on April 19 2012. The piece is perfect for choruses looking to take their singing forward, with specific directions for staggered breathing throughout offering an added challenge for ensembles. Although designed to be sung A Cappella, the arrangement includes a piano reduction for easy rehearsal. / Choeur SSATBB
