Each presents a different 'mini-drama'; a song of revolt one of release and finally a sermon of joyous acceptance.This work is available for bass or medium voice with orchestral full score or piano accompaniment.

Venezuelan composer Beatriz Bilbao offers us Encore Un Mystere for mixed choir a cappella. The poem belongs to the Philosophical Sonnets of the Count of Saint Germain a renowned spiritual and philosophical guru. In a basically tonal harmonic movement the texture of this work elaborates in a profound simplicity throughout three clearly defined sections. The core exploration of the idea of nothing so eloquently expressed in the text is explored at the third and final section where the voices freely express sounds of murmurs whispers breaths etc. while the dynamic contour moves from mezzo-piano to nothing. A beautiful piece to program in fall and spring concerts for collegeand community choirs. Medium in difficulty.
