Legend (from 'Seasons And Charms')

The eighth song in composer Jonathan Dove’s Seasons and Charms (words by Alasdair Middleton), ‘Legend’ remembers beloved grandeur lost. The choir sings solemnly in unison. Supporting vocal harmony is optional in the second verse.

Seasons and Charms is a collection of short pieces for young people’s voices and piano, commissioned by Aldeburgh Music for the Friday Afternoons Project. Inspired by Benjamin Britten, Friday Afternoons is an initiative created by Snape Maltings (formerly Aldeburgh Music) to open up a world of singing for children and young people.

Additional materials to this collected edition, such as lyric sheets and backing tracks, are made available as part of the Friday Afternoons Song Bank: www.fridayafternoonsmusic.co.uk
