Pulsating rhythms drive this mixed meter setting through a series of exciting contrapuntal moments before arriving at a solo SATB quartet. The choir then enters in a hymn-like section which evolves into a brief final fugue before coming to a close. This choral can stand alone or in combination with other movement(s). Published with a piano accompaniment, a score for strings and harp is available as a free download at www.carlfischer.com. Carl Fischer Publishing.
