As Tim Sharp travels the world as an ambassador for choral music he sometimes hears composers in foreign lands that deserve our attention. So is the case with this selection based on the Sara Teasdale poem about clouds. The young composer is committed to melody in a way that is a refreshing return to what seems right. The harmonic treatment is sensitive and sensible, and most satisfying. An excellent concert piece for high school, college and community choirs. Medium in difficulty.

Here's a choral fantasy on the traditional African American spiritual, “Soon I Will Be Done.” The grave Wagnerian opening sets the stage for the fiery main theme of the piece–a triplet feeling motif in the lower piano that continues under each chorus statement of the melody. The choir re-enters in the role of the “orchestra” in the second chorus with a haunting legato counter melody that leads up to the first verse. Each verse should have a Gospel/Stride feel with the choir, particularly the upper voices, switching to a more Gospel sound and rhythmic feel. The A sections should be performed with aggression and angst to contrast the calm legato middle section. That middle section is our musical prayer of hope that, like the sentiment of this Spiritual, will continue to live in our hearts despite the sometimes difficult realities of life.
