Stephen Hatfield: Battant Son Plein SSAA

Battant Son Plein is French slang, literally “hitting his fill,” the equivalent of the English “in full swing.” Written for Scala, a children's choir from Bruxelles, the title refers to what these children sound like when they sing, and the piece is a salute to their confidence and daring. For treble voices in four parts (SSAA), with optional percussion. French and English versions.
