Work
I Shot an Arrow
for SSA choir, oboe and piano
About
The poem by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow comes to life in this dramatic piece. The oboe shoots the arrow, the singers follow with their ascending take on this event. Word painting adds to the color. A great opener for a concert, this piece would quickly engage the listeners.
