“When Art appears before your door” Madrigal based on an anonymous text from the 15th Century for mixed choir a cappella (1975) Even a few years after the introduction of the Euro, the essence of this text is still relevant today: “If you’ve got a penny on you, doors and gates will open to you”. The rather simple and restrained, sonorous piece builds up at this point to a highly effective virtuoso stretto. Eminently suitable for competitions and examination performances.
