Mouth Symphony
CoMA Ensemblefrom the Humours of Daryl Runswick CD |
|
Daryl Runswick writes: Mouth Symphony is a piece for a large body of unaccompanied voices, but I would not describe them as a choir. For a start, although they are divided into groups, the division is not by voice-type. Secondly there is not a lot of singing in Mouth Symphony: it's mostly whispering, grunting, shouting, humming... performable, therefore, by people who are not primarily vocalists. There are four sections, slow–fast–slow–fast, performed without a break. |
