Program Notes:
Elektra commissioned this arrangement of Joni Mitchell’s timeless classic from Vancouver-based singer/songwriter, teacher, and Elektra singer Kate MacColl “The Circle Game” speaks to so many of us in the various stages of our lives.
Conductor Notes:
SSAA div a cappella with two alto solos (could be done by the same singer). This arrangement is for technically solid choirs whose singers can move easily between roles of “storyteller” and accompaniment. Careful attention to balance makes this piece sparkle. I have found that starting in 4/4 and moving withing a few measures to 2/2 is the most successful for us.
