Joanna Marsh’s SEEN is a choral setting of a text by Fiona Lindsay for choir and electronics which was commissioned for the BBC Singers by BBC Radio 3. The first performance was at Milton Court on 20th May 2022. The electronics in this performance were created by Glen Scott. The BBC Singers were conducted by Sofi Jeannin.
Mixed voices unaccompanied (SSSAAATTBarBarBB)
Duration: c.19’30”
Text: written by Fiona Lindsay
Themes: The famous women of Greek mythology, Greek theatre, feminism, marginalisation, lost voices
Musical content: The music builds using repeating rhythmic motifs, underpinned by a strong harmonic geography that is amplified by the tech effects applied to each voice. For the first performance music producer Glen Scott produced a workflow in Logic. The individual feeds from each singer run through this workflow and the Logic plug-ins create an immersive sonic experience. The performance can be partially acoustic (using the tech effects in addition to the voices) or the voices can be amplified as well for large spaces.
Suitable for: professional or very able amateur choirs. The conductor needs an in ear click track taken from the same feed as the electronics production.
A full tech specification is included at the back of the perusal score.
