cold melodic phrases and rich harmonic foundation
Kevin's ever-masterful use of the orchestral timbre is coupled with an impressive command of the soprano register and passagio. These techniques are placed on a tapestry of cold melodic phrases and rich harmonic foundation, to provide a great listen.
I'm sure you're aware of Debussy's timeless literature for orchestra and SA choir, but my suggestion would be to find a solid soubrette or light lyric soprano and this solo piece will sound beautiful.
