Jackson, Gabriel: Nightingale Fragments
choral sheets
Gabriel Jackson's Nightingale Fragments for SATB (with divisions) unaccompanied.
The text for this vibrant part-song is a deftly chosen selection of lines from Keats' Ode to a Nightingale.Premiered by the Vigala Singers in 2017, Jackson's setting features many of the composer's stylistic hallmarks: glissandi, decorative melismas, aleatoric patterns, and solo lines that float above the texture. Highly attractive andsuitable for summer concerts.
