Description
A welcome addition to this composer’s output of secular choral works, Oh Sleep! is a beautiful and lyrical setting which will be appreciated by choirs both amateur and professional. It was composed to mark the 90th birthday of Ayrshire Voices’ conductor, Raymond Bramwell. Coleridge s timeless poetry is sensitively and touchingly evoked in MacMillan s setting. The piano accompaniment serves by turns to set the mood, to underpin the voices and to complement them with a variety of textures.
