Christina Georgina Rossetti

She Sat and Sang Christina Georgina Rossetti

With clarinet and cello parts suitable for good high school players, this setting of the familiar Rossetti text is perfect for advanced high school choirs and beyond. A brief unison beginning quickly expands into colorful polyphonic writing, which includes counterpoint with both solo instruments and piano. The independent vocal lines along with the contemporary harmonies will make for a wonderful teaching piece and a satisfying concert selection.
