Product Description
"Cori Celesti" for SATB choir, composed by Dom Waldock
Named after the vast mountain at the centre of the Discworld, this choral piece describes the realm of Dunmanifestin at the top of Cori Celesti. It is the home of the Discworld Gods whom manifest in the presence of mortal beings belief. The work begins and ends with a ritualistic chant, sang syllabically in 7/4 metre separated into groups of four and three. We then go on to hear about the Gods in more detail such as The Lady, Fate and the King of the Gods: Blind Io. The lyrical content can be seen below:
Dunmanifestin, dun, Dunmanifestin.
Atop the mountain, there they live,
Sustained by our belief.
The Gods of Discworld gaze below, At wizard, troll and thief.
Cori Celesti, Cori Celesti, Cori Celesti, Cori Celesti.
The dice are rolled,
The game of life begins. The Lady,
And Fate choose their pawns.
Blind Io, the King of the Gods, Watches eyeless from his throne. Overseer of mortal lives, Worship him.
