The Parting Glass - Karen Marrolli - scrolling score

ecspublishing....
Written to be a ritual “closing song” for the Santa Fe Men’s Camerata, Santa Fe, New Mexico, Karen Marrolli, conductor. The premiere performance was given by this ensemble on April 7, 2013. The music reflects the spirit of the text: celebratory and yet wistful. It begins in unison but quickly moves to four- to six-part writing, with the basses and second tenors dividing in places.
The text was written by the composer as an homage to traditional Irish love ballads. The soloist for this piece sings the English text and should have a light and lilting vocal quality, and the style of violin playing should have the feel of traditional Irish or Scottish music. The chorus sings the Gaelic text, for which a pronunciation guide is provided.
