Sonnet No. 12 – Complete Choir Bundle

A stunning, deeply evocative, and rhythmically captivating contemporary choral work by the renowned Latvian composer Valts Pūce (b. 1962). Dedicated to the internationally acclaimed youth choir "Kamēr", this piece sets William Shakespeare’s famous 12th Sonnet ("When I do count the clock that tells the time...") into a brilliant choral masterpiece.

The composition masterfully shifts between atmospheric, deeply expressive solo/tutti lines and dynamic, rhythmic vocal percussion elements ("tm-t, tm-t..."), showcasing the pure versatility and dramatic power of the human voice. It features expressive solos, rich harmonies, and custom rhythmic handclaps that create an engaging, multi-dimensional performance.
