Synopsis

for SATB (with divisions) and piano
Locus iste is an atmospheric setting of a well-known Latin text. With an ever-changing time signature, Todd's writing is gentle but effective; the mysterious piano accompaniment combined with the dissonant harmonies in the sustained voices create a soundscape that hints at an ethereal world.

About this title

About the Author

British composer and pianist Will Todd has worked at the Royal Opera House, the Lincoln Center in New York, London's Barbican, and with Welsh National Opera, award-winning choirs The Sixteen, BBC Singers, and Tenebrae. He travels extensively world-wide, workshopping with choirs, and conducting performances of his works. Will's music is valued for its melodic intensity and harmonic skill, often incorporating jazz colours, and his choral music is much in demand from amateur as well as professional performers. He is best-known for his choral works, and his jazz-inspired Mass in Blue has been performed hundreds of times since its premiere in 2003. This has been followed by his critically acclaimed Passion Music. His anthem, The Call of Wisdom, was commissioned for HRH The Queen's Diamond Jubilee service at Westminster Abbey.
