Music On The Waters (from 'Seasons And Charms')

‘Music on the Waters’ expands on the techniques seen in the previous two numbers of the song collection, Seasons and Charms, in its use of layered, round-like melodic lines. The result yields a delightful rippling effect. Optional divisions for up to four separate parts.

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
