Présentation de l’éditeur : A lyrical and sensual evocation of the world’s first erotic verse. This piece exists in TWO versions—one for five accappella voices, and one with two narrators (male and female) added who read the Song of Songs over the vocal ensemble. It can be performed in any language and to date has been presented in English, French, Italian and the original Hebrew.
