Written as a response to death, this piece takes text that I wrote with intention of honoring the suffering and pain felt in losing a child to cancer. Scored for SATB divisi and an alto solo, this work utilizes thick chords and harmonic textures while the soloist sings above the ensemble, a single parent surrounded by other parents experiencing the same heartbreak, ending with a hauntingly beautiful cadence that hints towards closure and the lack thereof a parent will always experience.
This work is scored for SATB divisi and alto solo.
This composition is recommended for an advanced ensemble.
