HIS HEART'S DESIRE

Writer : SPICER Paul
Media : Choral Score
Collection : Contemporary Choral Series
Publisher : Boosey & Hawkes, London

With text from the Book of Psalms, His heart’s desire is a short motet for mixed voices, with homophonic outer sections with minimal divisi and a middle section dividing the chorus into two SATB groups. Spicer’s characteristic rich harmonies and occasionally shifting tonalities are evident, though the work would be suitable for the intermediate choir looking to explore approachable contemporary repertoire and the music of Paul Spicer (a biographer and former student of Herbert Howells).
