All We Know of Love

Carlotta Ferrari’s All We Know of Love is a thoughtful meditation on the nature of love, setting words that suggest its boundless presence and sufficiency. The text proposes that love’s essence is all-encompassing and that understanding its depth is an ongoing journey. This setting for SATB choir captures the reflective mood of the poetry. The composer’s treatment of the English text creates an intimate and profound atmosphere, ideal for secular choral programmes seeking music that inspires contemplation and connection. The part-writing balances expressive melodic lines with rich harmonic colours, offering a rewarding experience for both choir and audience.
