The Forbidden City

Available for SSA or SATB, \'Temen Oblak?---which means \'Dark Clouds\'---is sung in Bulgarian and adapted from a poem by Hristo Botev. Featuring the intricate rhythms and harmonies of Bulgarian women\'s choirs, it was commissioned by the International Schools Choral Music Society (ISCMS) and was first performed on February 22, 2014 at the Forbidden City Concert Hall in Beijing by the ISCMS Festival Orchestra and Chorus, conducted by composer Christopher Tin. \'Temen Oblak? is the third movement of The Drop That Contained the Sea, a ten-movement work that deals with water in different forms. Orchestra parts are available for rent. / Choeur Mixte (SATB)

Inspiré par le palais orné à Beijing, en Chine, cet arrangement est axé autour de la chanson folklorique chinoise 'Fleur de jasmin'. La musique est présentée du point de vue d'une personne voyageant vers le palais, avec la grandeur, la beauté et spectacle en augmentant progressivement avec chaque mesure prise. Le dispositif utilise une variété d'instruments de percussion à renforcer les effets enchanteurs qui construisent partout. / Concert Band
