Philip Lane

Four Shakespeare Lyrics

1. Sigh no more (Much Ado about Nothing); 2. Fear no more the heat of the sun (Cymbeline); 3. Come away death (Twelfth Night); 4. Under the greenwood tree (As You Like it)
These four settings were commissioned by the girls' choir of Methodist College, Belfast with funding from the Sainsbury's Choir of the Year competition in 1998. The choir had so much enjoyed Philip Lane's Five Shakespeare Lyrics (ROB03073) that they asked for some more! Excellent, entertaining settings in a modern jazzy style that will please singers and audience alike. For SSAA with piano, optional two flutes, oboe or soprano saxophone and percussion. Also available in a version for mixed voice choir (No.03105)
