Like Softest Music

for double choir, a cappella
by  Caroline Mallonee

View the Score

Like Softest Music takes its words from Romeo and Juliet:

My soul calls upon my name.
How silver-sweet sound lovers’ tongues by night,
Like softest music to attending ears!

The piece is canonic, and much of the piece is sung sotto voce, creating a soft and indistinct choral soundscape that envelops the audience.
