Rachel Mars: Sing It! Spirit of Envy

Rachel Mars - Sing It

Drawn from their own lives the participants in this pop-up choir give vent to the things they envy set to a score by Verity Standen and including excerpts from a speech praising the necessity of envy in a capitalist economy by a man called Boris Johnson who was elected Mayor of London.

The lyrics are a powerful reminder that you can be envious of just about anything and that this envy is of little benefit, indeed others are all too happy to cultivate your envy as a source of revenue as you strive to get what you want. The arrangement is satisfying and the work achieves a wonderful completeness in the five minutes it occupies the cafe with song.
