Review:
From the pen of the talented Sandra Eithun comes this engaging setting of the hymn tune MELITA. A haunting, slightly dissonant opening gives way to a verse of the tune underpinned by a slightly unsettled malleted accompaniment. Further verses of the tune explore different moods and
emotions before a return to the feeling of the opening. A worthy choice for the ensemble wanting something a little different.
