SATB voicing with SATB recording

Inspired by Sarah Williams' poem, The Old Astronomer, this new concert work tells of the irony of life's moments; of a life long lived through joy, sadness, longing, endurance, love and so many other lessons rolled into a vessel of musical inspiration. “The shadows give perspective on things already known; and the light, although familiar, was only mine on loan. I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night.” Optional cello included, this work is outstanding in text and music.

Absolutely stunning! I am in love with this song
My choir is preforming this for ISSMA, and I couldn't be happier because I've always adored this song.
My 8th grade concert choir is performing this song! Can’t wait it sounds amazing. And yes my choir is one of the best in Missouri
Wow huh we must all go to the same school cause when I was in 8th grade I performed this song with a guy named tucker. And yes we were the best
I heard this song performed by a chorale today. I officially love this song and am learning it.
Singing this for choir. Love this song so much! ♥️
Learning this in chorus and I love it
Beautiful song, for my memory in choir concert; I love it so much
Incredible. Superb. Perfect. What a transformative piece, thank you
sang this song for the end school. year concert
Played the cello part for this and absolutely loved the collab with the choir
my whole choir class said that this song is about death and my teacher tried to say it wasn’t and we were like “no it’s definitely about death”😂
Having read the original poem, it's an old man putting his affairs in order with his student, making sure whoever or whatever comes next has their facts straight.
But he is also saying his final fairwell and pondering his own coming end.
He is ready, and has no fear of the coming journey. For he always loved the night.
So yeah, a guy is dying. But the song is about farewells and courage to face the unknown too.
Where is the descant?!
It’s there. It is right after brightness once a blaze. It starts with flickering away. I heard it clearly. I just wish this recording did the dynamics but besides that it is excellent.
Magolor 7 ah yeah after looking super closely I see it thanks the dynamics would have been nice my chorus group needs help with the dynamics lol
You’re welcome. My choir is performing this song this Sunday actually. Good luck with your choir! I absolutely love this song.
I love this song very much, but that cadence at the end just didn't work for me. It didn't "come alive."
just butchered this song for MPA like a week ago. I would blame it on our conductor pulling a no-show, but we were garbage before that too. Sorry judges
Luckily, you’re a painter and not a musician.
