About A Maxim for Vikings
Barbara Rosen's A Maxim for Vikings is a secular canon for two equal voices. The text, a pithy aphorism about resilience, is set in a straightforward manner reflecting the directness of the maxim. This is a short, punchy work, ideal for study or performance where clarity and a memorable message are desired. The nature of the canon form makes it particularly suitable for exploring ensemble skills and for quick learning. The English text is easily understood, allowing the performers to focus on the musical delivery and the impact of the composer's message.
