Translation: I am one with the great spirit. Equally suited for mixed, treble, or tenor-bass choirs, this flexible arrangement opens with a Native American flute, the sounds of flowing water, and tuned singing bowls. Next, two robust solo voices introduce the core sections: the traditional melody with Eastern Band Cherokee Indian lyrics; and an original English-text refrain that later pairs with the authentic tune.

A genre-defying collection of songs for female vocal trio, Songspin Songbook is a collaboration between Juice Vocal Ensemble and UYMP, funded by an Arts Council England grant. Described as “the 21st century’s answer to the Swingles or King’s Singers” (The Times), Juice have emerged as the face of a revitalised experimental scene for vocal music. Songspin Songbook publishes songs from their debut album, Songspin. The album was released on Nonclassical in 2011 to critical acclaim, winning an international Independent Music Award for Best Contemporary Classical Album in 2012. Featuring remixes by the likes of Camille producer MaJiker and Björkcollaborator Mikhail Karikis, the album was reviewed by The Observer as “eighteen immaculately achieved tracks, spanning Elisabeth Lutyens to Gabriel Prokofiev via folk song and avant garde, enchant and enthrall”. Songspin also featured the premiere recording of Elisabeth Lutyens' Of The Snow, which The Telegraph described of a performance by Juice as an amazing sustained piece of virtuosity.  Songspin Songbook was edited by James Whittle and Paul Sild.  Artwork designed by Christopher Leedham and Martin Scheuregger.

Persichetti was a big fan of the poetry of e.e. cummings, having set a number of texts to music. Four Cummings Choruses, Op. 98, Flower Songs (Cantata No. 6), Op. 157, Glad and Very (5 Cummings Choruses, Cantata No. 5), Op. 129, Spring Cantata (Cantata No. 1), Op. 94, and Two Cummings Choruses, Op. 33 (G. Schirmer) are among his best-known choral works. The two poems in Opus 46 are very dissimilar; while Hist Whist may best be performed in a Halloween concert (little ghost-things, twitchy witches, the old woman with the wart on her nose), This Is the Garden is a flowing, layered, multi-colored descriptive choral. The Two cummings Choruses was premiered at the 1952 MTNA Conference in Dallas, TX by the Sigma Alpha Iota Chorus.
