Music's Echo

This a cappella gem uses optional percussion accompaniment creating a Renaissance sound and madrigal effect. Beginning with a simple melody, each part joins with its own melody. Soon the polyphonic singing is gloriously forte andbuilds to a strong ending. “How sweet the answer echo makes to music at night.” “Music's Echo” is a sweet musical work to use as a processional or it may be sung antiphonally by two or more choirs. Words byThomas Moore (1779-1852) from Irish Melodies, Vol. 8. So many creative options! Optional percussion includes triangle, finger cymbals, tambourine, drum.
