Andrew Miller: The Lamb: Gemischter Chor A cappella

The William Blake poems, The Lamb and The Tyger are often paired together, and Andrew Miller has composed them so they can be sung as a set or separately. The overlapping lines in The Lamb enter in stretto and the echo effect is enthralling, largely because of the resulting harmonies. The final blessing brings a most satisfying ending. Best for advanced high school and college choirs, along with community groups. Medium difficulty.
