Set to Robert Louis Stevenson’s well-known poem, The Wind by Harry Richardson captures the playful unpredictability of the unseen force that “sings so loud a song.” Written in a lilting 12/8 meter, the SA setting uses flowing rhythms and wordless “oh” and “ah” passages to evoke the sound and movement of the wind itself. Accessible part-writing and imaginative text painting make this an engaging choice for developing choirs.
