Hawes, Patrick - Quanta Qualia For Lever Harp

The original version for solo soprano and SATB choir appeared on Patrick’s debut album Blue in Blue. It was subsequently recorded by Hayley Westenra for her Number-One-selling album Odyssey and, in 2014 by Voces8 choir to produce a version for them which featured on their Number-One-selling album Eventide.
Arranged here for lever harp from the piano version by Elinor Evans, the music reflects the heartfelt longing for the joys of heaven, a happiness to be shared in a future moment of meeting expressed in the words.
