O Little Rose, O Dark Rose (TTBB)
“O Little Rose, O Dark Rose” is filled with both sweet and dark elements.
Described as “achingly beautiful” by some conductors.
Robert’s poem uses garden imagery to paint a story about a conventional person seduced by the appearance of the free spirited and non-committal “Carmenesque” person.
The composition was premiered and recorded by Chor Leoni Men’s Choir (Barbara Pentland Award – Canadian Music Centre) and recorded by Britain’s Gesualdo Six for their CD (FADING).
Both the TTBB and SATB are published through Cypress Music Publishers, Vancouver, Canada.
“We are really pleased to have stumbled across an absolute gem.”
– Gesualdo Six
