In and the swallow, Shaw combines transparent textures, fluid melodic lines, and subtle harmonic shifts to create music that feels both ancient and strikingly modern. The piece unfolds with patience and restraint, allowing silence, breath, and resonance to play an essential expressive role alongside the sung text. Caroline Shaw, a Pulitzer Prize–winning composer, singer, and violinist, is widely admired for her imaginative approach to vocal writing and her deep sensitivity to language. Her choral music often explores the physicality of singing—vowel color, consonant placement, and natural speech rhythms—while remaining emotionally direct and highly singable. Shaw’s background as a performer strongly informs her writing, resulting in music that feels organic and instinctive within the voice. The text of and the swallow comes from the writings of Hildegard of Bingen, the 12th-century mystic, poet, and composer. Shaw sets Hildegard’s evocative imagery of longing, refuge, and spiritual yearning with great care, allowing the words to shape the musical pacing and contour. and the swallow by Caroline Shaw stands as a refined and expressive meditation, offering choirs a work of quiet depth that rewards attentive listening and sensitive performance.
