About this arrangement

Vocal Solo,Voice - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1031391 Composed by Words by William Shakespears Music by Ronald LO Ching long. Contemporary. 8 pages. Ronald #6691937. Published by Ronald (A0.1031391).  Inspired by the idea of representation in music to express my feeling, I started to compose this song cycle from the beginning of May to the beginning of June. In this song cycle, I aimed to spread an ironic message to reflect the loss of humanity of human using the poems about winter by Mr. William Shakespeare for text painting.The key of the featured song "Blow, Blow Thou Winter wind" is B minor. It portrays a cold and miserable feeling. The first phrase "Blow, blow, thou winter wind" shows a blowing effect especially in the work "blow" in the voice part. This makes the phrase more flowing. The second verse "heigh-ho! Sing, heigh-ho! Unto the green holly" describes a resonant sounding effect. The second phrase "Most friendship is feigning, most loving mere folly" criticizes the dark side of friendship and love, so the key changes back to minor, which serves as a contrast to the previous phrase. The main idea of this verse: "this life is most jolly" ends with a major to emphasize the description of numerous negative feeling with hope and joy.
