Sure on This Shining Night

Morten Lauridsen's Nocturnes have enchanted choirs and directors around the world, and he has now adapted Sure on This Shining Night, a movement based on a James Agee poem, for mixed vocal duet (soprano/mezzo-soprano and tenor/baritone). In his program notes, Lauridsen stresses that this setting is to be performed like "a song from the American musical theater stage." Soloists will be thrilled by this adaptation of an already well-loved work.
