Description
Burrell’s evocative piece demonstrates beautiful 4-part writing to this self-composed text. Old Man was originally composed in 1984 and given its premier Maine Hall, UQ by the Queensland Conservatorium Singers lead by Dr Roy Wales. The song speaks to the rich benefits of a loyal and long-term relationship.
The rich close-harmony and well-considered voice leading and counterpoint make this a very poignant, warm and moving addition to your concert repertoire.
