How our reviews work

  • A few days after your order ships we'll email you a link to leave a review. When your feedback is published it will carry a Customer verified badge, so others know it came from a real order with us.
  • We only ever edit a review to remove profanity, spam, or personal details - otherwise it's published exactly as written, good or bad. We won’t ever remove or edit critical ones.
  • You don't need to have bought a product from us to review it - if you know the product, we want you to let other shoppers know what you honestly think, using the form on the product page. These are moderated in the same way, but won't carry our Customer verified badge.

Who is Silvia?

Wilcocks' setting of Who is Silvia? is a graceful choral arrangement for SSA voices, bringing William Shakespeare's well-known text to life through clear vocal writing and elegant musical phrasing. The arrangement is written for soprano and alto voices, making it a useful choice for school choirs, youth ensembles and treble vocal groups.

The music captures the charm and lyricism of Shakespeare's poem while providing an accessible repertoire choice for developing choirs. Its three-part vocal writing gives singers the opportunity to explore harmony, balance and ensemble skills within a concise choral setting.

SSA vocal arrangement

Written for SSA voices, the arrangement divides the choir into soprano and alto parts, creating a three-part texture. This makes it suitable for treble choirs and ensembles working with developing female or unchanged voices.

Shakespeare's text

The piece sets the well-known text from Shakespeare's The Two Gentlemen of Verona. Its poetic subject and lyrical character make it a strong addition to classical and literary-themed choral programmes.

Choral repertoire

Who is Silvia? provides a contrasting repertoire option for choirs looking to explore traditional English choral music. The arrangement can be used in school concerts, choir performances and educational settings where singers are developing their ensemble and harmonic skills.
