About Before You Go
Brian Kolger’s charming secular canon Before You Go is written for three sopranos. The text expresses a simple, domestic scene: a reminder to inform the milkman about a temporary pause in deliveries. This lighthearted instruction, repeated in the manner of a canon, playfully emphasizes the message. The repetitive nature of the text and music makes it an engaging choice for singers, offering opportunities for precise ensemble work and a clear demonstration of canonic writing within a secular context.
