Echo Jive
Elizabeth Vercoe
About this work:
This is a short, humorous choral work for SATB. It was commissioned by Hampshire College for the Hampshire College Chorus conducted by Ann Kearns. The chorus gave the first performances of the piece in Amherst and Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1987.
The piece is an amusing and jazzy setting of an anonymous 19th century poem consisting of a dialogue between Echo and a Lover (during which Echo rather gets the best of Lover)
