She Walks in Beauty
Lord Byron’s poem She Walks in Beauty has been set to a familiar instrumental work by Johannes Brahms.
It is unclear if the beautiful romantic melody was and adapted for voice by Brahms or by arranger, Ms. Hokanson. In either case, finding choral music from the Romantic period that is within the capability and ranges of early adolescents can be a challenge. This work is skillfully arranged it to fit the four-part ranges of early adolescent singers, SACB.
The audio presentation is sung by a boy’s choir with treble, cambiata, and early adolescent bariones.. The piano part is performed by a 9th grad student.
Music by Johannes Brahms, 1833-1897
