About this arrangement

Choral Choir,Choral,SSAA Chorus - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1487532 Composed by Marina Quintanilla. Contemporary,Contest,Festival. 24 pages. Rising Tide Music Press #1064479. Published by Rising Tide Music Press (A0.1487532). Poem by Sara Teasdale for SSAA chorus + piano (accompaniment + vocal reduction) Commissioned by the American Choral Directors Association as part of The New Canon Project. From the composer: Inspired by her travels, Vignettes Overseas is a collection of poems published in Sara Teasdale's massively successful book of poems, Rivers to the Sea. Written during a time where women's voices were often silenced, and just one year after her marriage, Night Song at Amalfi vibrantly illustrates the stuggle to be a woman in a society that expected women to be submissive, and the stark reality that she and many other women faced. While women's rights have made great strides over the years, women and other minority groups still stuggle to have their voices heard. This song is for all of them. This piece was commissioned by the New Canon Project, a partnership between the American Choral Directors Association, the American String Teachers Association, and Rising Tide Music Press, with support of the Sphinx Venture Fund. This piece is written for school-aged groups, but is accessible to choirs of all levels and challenges the choir with part independence and modal writing. This piece starts out very open and celestial, then turns dark as the reality of unending silence sets in. There is hope, but also anger, confusion, and numbness. - Marina Quintanilla This product was created by a member of ArrangeMe, Hal Leonard’s global self-publishing community of independent composers, arrangers, and songwriters.
