Michele Josia: Come il ritmo veloce (equal voices, piano)

Michele Josia’s Come il ritmo veloce is an energetic and expressive work for equal-voice children’s choir and piano, featuring a playful interplay between rhythm, repetition and vocal textures. Set to a text by Italian poet Roberto Piumini, the piece explores the relationship between rhythm and voice through vivid, rhythmic language.

The work was awarded the Winner of the Trophy of Composition at the 54th Seghizzi International Choral Competition (2015), making it a distinctive choice for children’s choirs looking for contemporary repertoire with strong rhythmic character and concert appeal.
