A choir favorite, Gather the Stars is a setting of the Carl Sandburg poem
Stars, Songs, Faces. My favorite
aspect of Carl Sandburg's poetry is that he captures profound thoughts with
simple language and direct language.
It is a composer's dream. We spend our whole lives chasing our dreams,
only to one day "let go and say goodbye." Similarly, the piece spends two minutes
gathering stars, songs, and faces, gaining momentum...until everything fades
again into a beautiful background of stars.
Thank you to the 2009 PMEA Region V Choir and Dr. Christopher Kiver for
this beautiful performance.
