Sharing its title with Handel's iconic aria for trumpet and soprano from Samson ( itself taking title from Milton), this drawing's influence is in reality much wider, evolving as a response to the whole of the AAM's Rejoice! programme as experienced in rehearsal and via live concert feed.
Bright yet soft, ever-ascending contours, charcoal melismas and natural trumpet which strive to visually convey the central narrative of joy and spiritual uplift which Pierce, Blackadder, Čičić et al. made sound so easy! |
