“More than the wind, more than the snow, more than the sunshine, I love the rain!” Celebrating the love of rain, Ebenezer Jones' lesser-known poem is set with spirit and vitality in this 2-part work for concert or contest. The comfortable ranges of easily learned parts are filled with dynamic contrast and rhythmic energy including a contrasting middle section in minor mode. A great confidence builder for young singers and a great selection for spring and end-of-year concerts!

Choir Secular (2-Part choir; Women's Choir)

SKU: AP.48854

Composed by Text adapted from the poem by Elinor Wylie. MakeMusic Cloud; Performance Music Ensemble; Single Titles. Alfred Choral Designs. Secular; Winter. Choral Octavo. 12 pages. Alfred Music #00-48854. Published by Alfred Music (AP.48854).

UPC: 038081561783. English. Andy Beck.

Andy Beck brings his gift for vivid text painting, evocative piano motives, and tuneful melodies to a favorite wintertime poem. Though not a word-for-word setting, the themes of the Elinor Wylie's words are evident from the snow-covered introduction, winding melody, and expressive andante, to the silken harmonic palette and lacy choral layers. Choose this piece with the confidence that it has been carefully constructed to encourage musicality and artistry from any ensemble. Program the eloquent concert and contest work from fall to spring, anytime there might be snow on the ground. We shall walk in velvet shoes . . . under a veil of lace. This title is available in MakeMusic Cloud.
