The words are about little chicks and their mother hen feeding them in the cycle of life. The percussion brings an authenticity to the sound and the multiple modulations are surprisingly placed to great effect and always fun.

UPC: 785147995906. English. Text by Sara Teasdale.

For three-part mixed or three-part equal voices this setting of Sara Teasdale’s poem, “Refuge” includes an intriguing introduction that organically repeats the word “refuge” in a number of languages. The angst of Teasdale’s poetry is reflected in the driving accompaniment and shifting meters. Adding a variety of percussion instruments to this work will enhance the overall performance. .
