SSATB chorus, piano - Late Intermediate

SKU: SF.SEA-027-01

Hard truth and deep love, delivered with edgy jazz harmonies and blues-inflected lines. Composed by Elizabeth Alexander. This edition: Print-On-Demand. Choral. A driving, blues-inflected riff on hard truth and deep love. Contemporary, 21st Century, Jazz. Octavo. Duration 4 minutes. Seafarer Press #SEA-027-01. Published by Seafarer Press (SF.SEA-027-01).

8.5 x 11 inches. Text by: Langston Hughes.

Langston Hughes' short, sassy poem, "Advice," contains an irresistible combination of hard truth and deep love. Elizabeth Alexander's dynamic setting of this poem is packed with edgy jazz harmonies, straight-ahead rhythms, and soulful, blues-inflected lines.

Technical notes: The challenging piano part is idiomatically gratifying, a showpiece for a strong player. The song also contains several optional solos.

Commissioned by Common Chords Chorus / Elizabeth Alexander (Ithaca, NY)

Themes: Brokenness, Love, Grief & Loss.
