In this stunning work, sweeping melodic lines and at times unexpected harmonies envelop a text from Rainer Maria Rilke translated into English.

It is a wonderful concert selection for more advanced choirs. 11415494 SSATBB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . M 3.00 After the Rain Sarah Quartel.

This sensitive setting uses triplets against duplets to give a sense of fluidity to the melodic phrasing. 11415038 SSA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . M 3.00 Aia la 'o Pele i Hawai'i Jace Kaholokulu Saplan. Based on a traditional Hawaiian chant with original music, this rousing work for advanced treble choirs brings all the drama of a volcanic eruption normally associated with destruction. But in Hawai'ian culture, Pele - the goddess of volcanos and fire - also evokes awe and veneration. Layered ostinato patterns and dramatic divisi harmonies, along with the use of the Ipu, a Hawaiian percussion instrument, create an exciting experience! 11415495 SSAA divisi . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Optional oboe or C instrument adds lovely tone color. 11416024 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
