The Aria is "The People the Walked in Darkness," in part one of
_Messiah_. It is mostly octaves, with harmony at the cadences and some
contrasting phrases. Much use of only octaves, which is quite unusual
and effective for the text.
(I confess to having sung this at solo contest in high school. It's
much less effective with only piano).

Is that really *entirely* in octaves or unisons? The orchestra is
only playing octaves/unisons?

Subject: [Finale] OT: works in octaves, unison etc.
Dear listers,
A quick q to the wisdom of this list. I am looking for any works or
movts. of works for more than one instrument that are constructed
entirely in unisons or octaves. Obviously there is the Qt. for the End
of Time mvt., and less obviously I've done one myself (fun to write if
you've not tried it!). Can anyone suggest others?
TIA
Matthew
