Stephen Hatfield: Set - choral unison/SSAA & piano

The text and music of Set are both full of biting humour as they cast a half-amused, half caustic look at the occupational hazards of hanging on to this crazy planet. For treble voices in unison or two to four parts (SS/SSA/SSAA) with piano.

Written for the Contra Cost Children's Chorus, CA. Technically not that difficult, especially in its unison or SA form, but it takes confidence to pull this one off because the style keeps hopping between Latin, boogie-woogie and a stop-and-start declamatory delivery.
