SATB choir, a cappella (with divisi)

SKU: SY.MGN-002

Composed by Mark Growden. Choral. Octavo. Duration c. 2 minutes, 50 seconds. Published by Swirly Music (SY.MGN-002).

Composed and written for The Calling All Choir while at the Chalk Hill Artist Residency in Healdsburg, California. My first night at the residency I woke up before dawn. The previous evening I was enjoying the sounds of crickets chirping. I expected to hear them that morning, but instead I was met with silence. I listened for a time and realized that the only thing I could hear was my heart beating. I proceeded to write this piece the following day.
