GATHERED TOGETHER

SATB w/ PIANO

This composition - based on two America folk-hymns, “We Gather Together” and “America, the Beautiful” - makes room for these well-known tunes to intermingle in creative, fresh ways. Written in a buoyant ‘three' throughout, this piece begins in hushed, contemplative tones and gradually builds to a climactic finish. The choral parts, which make use of minimal divisi, are supported by powerful, majestic writing for the piano. This composition makes for a great concert finale.
