A lesser known yet deeply poignant Robert Frost poem. Greg's emotional choral setting is full of expressive rubato that invites time to thoughtfully process the meaningful words. Changing time signatures make space for effortless phrasing and sensitive syllabic stress. A consistently warm harmonic palette and several fully realized suspensions leave us with a feeling of resolution. An exquisite selection for SATB or TTBB choirs and their responsive accompanists.

Maya Angelou's most popular poem about triumph over adversity comes brilliantly to life in this vivid setting by Mark Hayes. The bright shuffle tempo and bluesy piano riffs perfectly embody Angelou's strength, courage, and determination to rise above. One of the most uplifting choral selections of our time! This is the final movement from the song cycle Like Dust I Rise.
