“Tonight I Dance Alone” for double choir a cappella consists of three<br />
poignant episodes from the life of an old man. We encounter him<br />
before his wedding, before celebrating his wedding anniversary and<br />
now as an elderly widower who says to his grandson:<br />
“Soon we will dance in the God-light, My love and I.<br />
Soon will the moon be ours again, And the endless shining stars<br />
In the halls of heaven. Soon, my love, very soon; But tonight, one last<br />
time, Tonight I dance alone.”<br />
The libretto and the descriptive music are deeply moving and<br />
constitute an ideal partnership. This is Mårten Jansson's first<br />
collaboration with the well-known librettist Charles Anthony Silvestri.<br />
The piece provides a well-worth challenge for ambitious choirs.<br />
This composition was world-premiered by the Saint Louis Chamber<br />
Chorus under the baton of Philip Barnes on 1 October 2017 in Saint<br />
Louis, MO (USA)<br />
