With a text by American poet, Mary Oliver, The Swan is a haunting piece for unaccompanied mixed chorus exploring the theme of how the experience of beauty can touch us on a profound level: “And did you feel it, in your heart, how it pertained to everything? And have you finally figured out what beauty is for? And has it changed your life?” Skilled choirs will enjoy the dissonance and gentle nuances in this piece – a contemporary Australian choral gem. SSAB arrangement also available.
