SATB choir, piano accompaniment - Intermediate
SKU: SB.SBMP-1653
Composed by Victor C Johnson. Choral. Jacob Narverud Choral Series. Classical. Octavo. Santa Barbara Music Publishing #SBMP1653. Published by Santa Barbara Music Publishing (SB.SBMP-1653).UPC: 000308159103.
Narverud’s setting of this evocative Sara Teasdale poem tells a story about how experiencing nature and music can inspire deep love and happiness. Soaring vocal lines combined with rich, dissonant harmonies and a rocking piano accompaniment make this a powerful piece that will resonate with treble choirs of all ages. The duple-against-triple patterns represent the conflict between Love and Stubbornness, which ultimately ends with the triplet pattern (Stubbornness) surrendering to Love (duple pattern) for a beautiful, empowering ending — “Love: Set Me Free!”.
