## Summary

Wild Musick vocal score for double choir and optional chamber organ or piano, featuring a cream-colored cover with black typography and decorative line art.

## Description

When Twickenham Choral commissioned this work for their centenary celebrations it made sense to choose a local poet. Alexander Pope (16881744) is regarded as one of the UK's finest, and with the money he had made from his translation of Homer, he was able to purchase a magnificent villa in Twickenham's Cross Deep, of which his famous grotto still survives, underneath St Catherine's and Radnor House Schools. He was 22 when he penned his epic Ode for Musick, on St Cecilia's Day although it wasn't published for another 13 years. I've used just the exuberant first verse here, and have relished word-painting his musical depictions, using the first two lines, which imitate celebratory church bells, as a refrain. I am hugely grateful to Twickenham Choral and their conductor Christopher Herrick for commissioning this work it has been a huge joy to write, during this riotously sunny and colourful spring.
