for SSAA, piano, and cello
Prologue is the first movement from Sarah Quartel's Snow Angel, an evocative five-movement choral work which is a firm favourite with choirs across the world. The musical language is emotive and pictorial, allowing performers to play an active role in the storytelling with a haunting and poignant cello line woven throughout the work.
Snow Angel is also available in a version for SATB.
