Choral pieces (other than Christmas pieces) by Tim Porter

words: Fiona MacLeod

music: Tim Porter

Free download of the entire piece: PDF, MIDI

Forces:

SATB divisi

Duration:

about 5'00"

7 pages

This is a substantial and extraordinarily atmospheric piece. It should ideally be sung by a large chorus in a resonant building.

With joy we leave thee

words: Duke of Monmouthl

music: Tim Porter

Free download of the entire piece: PDF, MIDI

Forces:

SATB (+SATB solos optionally) + Piano

Duration:

about 3'15"

Length:

12 pages

This is the final chorus from Tim's opera "The Duke of Monmouth's Maggot". A maggot is, of course, an old English country dance, not what you were thinking. The opera is a full-scale opera, with full chorus and orchestra. To date, it has never been performed as a whole, which is a great shame, for it is a fine piece. The stage directions are included in this chorus, and they are good reading!
