Based on the brief setting of 'Te lucis ante terminum' by Tallis, Balfour's arrangement of this work creates an evocative sound world, with a new Ojibway text on the Four Directions. An opening solo surrounded by drones and bird songs gives way to brief SMATB polyphony, before returning to the sounds of the natural world. Perfect for choirs of any size, this work is a great introduction to both the music of the renaissance and the music of NAGAMO. IPA pronunciation guide and translation included.
This is the SMATB version. Also avilable for SATBarB.

Balfour/Tallis: Four Directions [SMATB]
We are not a traditional publisher - 80% of profits go directly to the composers, and musica intima only retains a 20% administration fee. Please order the number of copies you intend to print, and continue to support the composers who create choral music. This art form would not exist without them.
Many years in the dreams of ensemble singers, musica printima was formally established in 2022, as a composer-centric, exclusively digital publisher. With a small but spectacular catalogue of music commissioned by, written for, or performed by musica intima, the imprint exists to ensure that composers intentions are honoured in the publishing of their works, and that the profits find their way back to the composer, without the publisher interfering. 80% of earnings from musica printima sales go to the composer - without whom, these works would never have come to life. Please support their art by not photocopying this music.
