H The Promise of LivingAaron Copland. Aaron
Copland's quintet from "The Tender Land" translates
beautifully into this setting for combined chorus
with band! Although it makes a perfect choice for
Thanksgiving, the wonderful vocal lines make it a
magnificent showpiece any time of year. The SATB
choral part can stand alone, and offers a piano 4
hands accompaniment. The optional concert band
accompaniment is at the medium level and requires
the choral part for performance. It's a fantastic way
to program music by a great American composer!
