Concord: 3. North Bridge

Peter Bird's Concord: 3. North Bridge is a secular work for SATB choir, written in English. Its place within a larger cantata suggests a narrative or thematic arc, with this movement contributing to the overall structure. The piece offers an opportunity for directors to explore programmatic choral writing, where musical elements are used to evoke imagery or tell a story. The SATB voicing allows for rich harmonic textures and the exploration of diverse vocal colours, making it a suitable choice for ensembles looking to expand their repertoire with substantial, engaging choral music.
