Invictus

Selected for the Jo-Michael Scheibe series, this may be the most powerful song of encouragement for men's choir on the planet. The William Ernest Henley poem sets the stage, but it is the dynamic musical writing for both voice and piano that rock the house. Opening with a gentle chant establishes the theme, but the surprise hits as the keyboard assumes control. Superb choice for a dedication, graduation or concert program. Medium in difficulty.
