Some Glad Morning

Inspired by a poem by Joyce Sutphen, Some Glad Morning allows us to see spring through the poet's eyes: the early green like "leafy birds," the ground breaking open as "dark as coffee beans," and the clouds in a spirited ballgame with the sun. The choir should portray all of the contrasting moods by following the expressive directions throughout the piece. The piano is a significant collaborator as the work builds up to a grand climax. This is an outstanding choice for women's voices!
