Opening quietly, almost as a soundscape, this four-part mixed divisi a cappella piece with high voice solo is part of a larger work, O Great Beyond, which was commissioned by the BBC Singers. Set to a farewell poem by the mystic Rabindranath Tagore, it builds to a very full choral texture with some clusters and dissonance before closing as quietly as it began. It is dedicated to the memory of Joseph Flummerfelt.
