Mo Zhao - Shall We Reveal (what's underneath the shadows)
Exaudi Vocal Ensemble
James Weeks, conductor
Premiered in Milton Court, Barbican Center, 2017
Recording courtesy of Guildhall School of Music and Drama
“Shall We Reveal” contains six miniature movements, each with its own character and placement formation. The soundscape constructed from the formations aims to create an illusion of space. Within this space, the music loosely mimics the interactions between light and shadow.
Between movements, performers will move to their next placements as shown on the next page (also written in at the end of each movement.)
