A Dark Place 

(mezzo or contralto and strings)   7’

 

This is a wonderfully gloomy piece, with plenty of despair and would suit a voice with rich, dark colouring. 

 

 

“A dark place, where no one goes but Thee. A dark place, where shadows lurk and turmoil hides: where I venture not; that depth of the deep, where I dares’t not venture: that dark place, where no one goes but me, where there will be no colour found upon this land. A dark place, where no one goes but Thee. A dark place, where no one goes but me.”

 

 

Vocal range: is from G sharp below middle C, to E an octave above middle C, with main tessitura around B-F (either side of middle C.) 

 

 

(Conductor’s scores are available in both A4 and A3 formats. Vocal score (A4) has a piano reduction for rehearsal.)

 

Please note: the sound file here is an electronic sound file, so it is wordless.

 

(Permission to produce three copies of vocal rehearsal score from download (for singer, rehearsal pianist and conductor.)
