Vancouver Chamber Choir, Jon Washburn, conductor
A late 19th century composer, Hugo Wolff's songs - or Lieder -are well suited for the mature high school or college choir. In Verborgenheit , translated to 'Seclusion', Jon Washburn offers an exquisite setting based on Eduard Mörike's beautiful text, that builds on Wolff's tonality, harmonically implied in the piano part, which is left intact in this arrangement. An excellent opportunity to explore Hugo Wolff's rich writing and style!
