A cappella Publisher Desc.  Set in a whimsical contemporary setting of the beloved poem, this choral setting of "The Swan" invokes the vivid imagery of its text by utilizing various textures and voice groupings as well as word painting. Each voice gets the chance (even if for a short while) to sing the melody and propel the song forward before returning to the supportive background. The chorus should perform the seemless harmonies and gentle nature of this work with the same gracefulness as a swan gliding on top of the water.
