Fear No More the Heat o' the Sun
Music by Lillian Redl
Text by William Shakespeare
Soprano-Jennifer Wu, Soprano-Jillian Nulton,
Alto-Carrie Magness Radna,
Tenor-Drew Elliott, Bass-Alan Ravage
This piece is a 5-part a cappella choral setting of the famous song from
Act IV, Scene ii of William Shakespeare's play Cymbeline. Although in the play two brothers sing it as a sort
of requiem to a boy whom they believe to be dead (but who is actually, in true Shakespearean style,
a young woman who has unwittingly taken a sleeping potion) the text makes such a powerful
statement on its own that it works well even for a larger group of singers. There are hints of Renaissanc
harmonies and counterpoint in the piece as an homage to the music of the time in which the play was written,
but there are also harmonies from a much later, and more modern, palette.
