Heal You (Upper Voices)

Anna Meredith’s ‘Heal You’ was written for Juice Vocal Ensemble and recorded by them on their second album “Laid Bare: Love Songs” (on the NonClassical label).  The composer writes:

“I had a clear idea of what I wanted to write for my love song - irreverent, punchy and abrasive, but then it all went straight out of the window when Philip Ridley sent me his beautiful text. After living with the words for a bit I kept coming back to a very simple chord progression where the text comes out of the texture as if emerging out of water.”
