Nuit d'ete - Bourget/Emery - SSATB
Additional Photos:
Lyrics: Paul Bourget (1852-1935)
Music: Matthew Emery
Format: Choral Octavo
Voicing: SSATB a cappella
Nuit d'ete is a anthem for mixed chorus a cappella. The text by Paul Bourget (1852-1935) speaks to feelings we have on 'sweet summer nights'. It follows a traditional AABACoda form. "O nuit, o douce nuit d'ete" acts as a reoccurring musical gesture, in the third stanza the SA voices take the melodic weight while the TB voices sustain on a drone. The music returns to the familiar "A" section in the fourth stanza, and there is an ending Coda section on the text "o nuit aimante!"
Sound sample features Chorale de la Salle: directed by Robert Filion.
