Jane Roman Pitt: Kumi Lach(Arise, My Darling, And Come Away Song of Solomon 2:1-13) (SATB a Cappella)

A setting from the Song of Songs (or Song of Solomon), Kumi Lach is a challenging piece from several perspectives. The piece is contrapuntal so the individual parts will offer your choir a unique challenge in combining parts. Additionally, Kumi Lach is largely in 7/8 with various combinations of 2 and 3 macro beats. Given appropriate rehearsal time, this piece will expand your choir’s horizons – it might even become one of their favorites!
