Vertue

Immerse yourself in a poignant masterpiece of contemporary choral music: 'Vertue', published by Edition Peters, is a captivating six-minute setting of George Herbert's celebrated poem. The work was commissioned in 2019 jointly by Wiltshire Creative and the Lichfield Festival specifically for the world-renowned vocal ensemble VOCES8. Scored for two mixed choirs (SSAATTBB / double choir SATB), the composition unfolds an emotionally resonant and luminous soundscape that enchants performers and audiences alike. This high-quality vocal score with piano reduction provides the ideal foundation for rehearsals and an impactful performance. An exquisite addition to the repertoire for ambitious ensembles seeking to bring vocal elegance and spiritual depth to the concert stage.
