i carry your heart

A lyrical setting of the much-loved E.E. Cummings text and part of a larger extended work, this piece works well with piano or with harp and strings, the way VOCES8 performed it. Ideal for high school, community, or collegiate choirs, the flowing lines and rich harmonic writing support the expressive text, while the gentle accompaniment and expanding textures build toward a warm, resonant climax.
