About this arrangement

SATB choir and Piano - Early Intermediate SKU: EC.AHM-48 Composed by Christopher Aspaas. Aspen Hill Music #AHM-48. Published by Aspen Hill Music (EC.AHM-48). English.Thomas Hood's poem, The Stars are with the Voyager, has inspired many lyric and lush choral settings of this text. As I read Hood's story of "constant love," I feel the inevitable promise found there, but also a sense of timeless adventure. At the beginning of this setting, the piano represents the rolling waves of the sea—relentless and full of energy—and the unyielding march of time. The fourth verse becomes contemplative following the setting of the sun and grows into the "brighter day" before a layering of the opening melody that moves into the distance.
