For chamber choir. Composed by Huw Watkins. This edition: choral score. Choral Music of Our Time. Downloadable, Choral score. Duration 6 minutes. Schott Music - Digital #Q41780. Published by Schott Music - Digital (S9.Q41780).English.
The Phoenix and the Turtle sets a poem by Shakespeare published 1601 that uses the metaphor of a bird's funeral to describe the death of an idealistic love. Watkins spins out a jazzy melody surrounded by close harmonies using the text to create a lively, rhythmic opening. The textures and rhythms settle into homophonic movement as the chords open ever outward in a slower middle section, before resolving onto a solemn ending in unison.
