Alphorn op 66

Imagine a mountain meadow at dusk, the air alive with the resonant call of the alphorn. This arrangement for SATB choir captures that evocative soundscape, bringing the spirit of the Swiss Alps into any concert hall. Marie-Christine Raboud-Theurillat's setting is a celebration of folk tradition, translated into rich choral textures. The music conjures images of pastoral scenes and open spaces, making it an ideal choice for a programme looking to evoke nature, or perhaps as a striking opening or closing statement. Its secular character allows for broad programming, offering a moment of pure, unadorned musical colour.
