A Sense of Self

2024 | c. 15 minutes | SATB Choir and Organ

Written for The Edge Chamber Choir and Hilary Norris (organ), conducted by Ros Crouch.

 

Programme Note

'A Sense of Self' is a set of five songs, each about one of the five senses - sight, smell, touch, taste and hearing.

 

An early version of these songs was written in 2021, partly as a reflection on the impact of the pandemic on what I experienced through these senses - what was absent, what I feared losing, and what I found solace in.

 

Ultimately, it's a piece about being human, and the magic of the way that we experience the world.
