"Stay with me" is a choral piece composed by Robert Prizeman, a British composer and conductor. The piece was composed in 2005 and premiered by the choir Libera, which Prizeman founded in 1999. "Stay with me" is a three-movement piece that features a combination of choral and orchestral elements. The first movement, "Stay with me," is a slow and contemplative piece that features a solo soprano voice accompanied by a string orchestra. The second movement, "In Paradisum," is a more upbeat and joyful piece that features the full choir and orchestra. The final movement, "Lux Aeterna," is a slower and more reflective piece that features the choir and a solo cello. The piece is characterized by its use of soaring melodies, lush harmonies, and intricate vocal arrangements. Prizeman's use of both choral and orchestral elements creates a rich and dynamic sound that is both powerful and emotional. The lyrics, which were written by Prizeman, are inspired by themes of love, loss, and hope, and are sung in both English and Latin. "Stay with me" has become one of Prizeman's most popular works, and has been performed by choirs and orchestras around the world. Its popularity is due in part to its accessibility - the piece is both beautiful and easy to perform, making it a favorite among amateur and professional musicians alike.
