Oxford University Press is proud to publish musical works by some of the most significant composers of the 20th and 21st centuries, with a catalogue that includes a broad range of choral, orchestral and chamber music.
The Moon is Flashing was originally scored for tenor solo and full orchestra, but has here been rescored for chamber ensemble, broadening its reach to smaller ensembles. The work sets three contrasting texts: the titular poem is a short valentine by the composer; 'A Day in Three Wipes' by Chris Newman is a modern lyrical ballad; and the final poem is the D H Lawrence's well-known animal poem 'Snake'. This full score dually serves as a conductor's score and score for the tenor soloist.
