Arrangement for SSATB of this classic from Pink Floyd, commissioned by Coro da Ra.
I wanted to convey the intimate and, at the same time, intense mood of the original tune. Its dynamic contrast and opposition between counterpoint and homophonic sections serve this purpose. It features several contrapuntal sections at the beginning (part II), end (parts VIII and IX) and interlude (part IV), aimed to imitate the instrumental performance. It’s not a challenging arrangement, but should some of these parts be complicated for the choir, they can be skipped safely.
This arrangement only comprises lyrics from part IV, excluding part VII for the sake of brevity and simplicity.
Coro da Ra is a choir specialized in jazz and Brazilian music.
