Don Gillthorpe's choral setting of Puck's speech, 'If we shadows have offended' from the end of A Midsummer Night's Dream (Act 5, Scene 1), is a three-part piece with beautiful, flowing melodies. This accessible work is ideal for school or community choirs, allowing singers of varying abilities to engage with the material.
Whilst nominally scored for upper voices, the lines are flexible and could be allocated to mixed-voice choirs in many different ways. This piece strikes a balance between simplicity and expressiveness, making it a delightful addition to any concert programme.
