SSATB choir (a cappella)
SKU: SB.SBMP-1395
Composed by Giselle E. Wyers. Choral. Giselle Wyers Choral Series. Classical. Octavo. 12 pages. Santa Barbara Music Publishing #SBMP1395. Published by Santa Barbara Music Publishing (SB.SBMP-1395).UPC: 608938361745. Text by Wendell Berry.
The profound text by Wendell Berry offers some possibilities for choirs wishing to add a bit of staging to their performance. The composer, reflecting on the text, uses ascending intervals of the fifth, sixth, and fourth as motives symbolic of a circle. At the conclusion, the sopranos having been together throughout, now divide into two parts, echoing each other to add to the drama of the ending. This is a cleverly constructed composition that will delight singers as they bring it to life.
