Behind the Willow Trees

Inviting listeners into a world of quiet reflection, this striking a cappella work grows from unison into breathtaking chordal harmonies, eventually flowing into a polyphonic texture as "the music overtakes you and seeps through your soul." The poem by Sarah Hirsch speaks of finding solace where you least expect it and carrying that quiet strength home, making it a standout selection for high school and community choirs alike.
