THE CLOAK THE BOAT AND THE SHOES

Excellence in Choral Music Series

Series: Pavane Choral
Publisher: Pavane Publishing
Voicing: SATB
Format: Octavo
Composer: John Milne
Author: W.B. Yeats

Composed at the height of the pandemic, this piece speaks to one of the highest functions of art - to transmute sorrow into something useful and beautiful. Yeats is a famous poet whose words have many meanings. The poem is weaved into three sections and Milne follows that by constructing his motet into three verses. His melody is as haunting and thoughtful as the poet's lyrics. Furthermore, he keeps the vocal lines free of divisi yet full of suspensions and resolutions that entice the listener. A fine concert piece for high school and college choirs.
