About Goodnight, goodnight beloved
Ciro Pinsuti’s Goodnight, goodnight beloved is a sensitive setting of an English text for SATB choir. The music opens with a gentle embrace, the voices intertwining to create a warm and intimate atmosphere. The composer captures the tender sentiments of the lyrics, which speak of quiet devotion and the peace found in simply being near a loved one. The vocal lines flow smoothly, reflecting the tender longing and gentle adoration expressed in the text. This is a beautiful example of a secular part-song, ideal for choirs looking for a piece that explores delicate harmonies and heartfelt expression.
