The poem by Alan Seeger is centered around soldiers who in their dedication and selflessness, fight for a cause that is greater than their own.
Through the use of compound meter, polyrhythm, and a highly imitative texture, the first section begins the piece with an energetic, rhythmic intensity that depicts the soldier's dedication and their trampling feet as they march onto the battlefield. The "floating" and meterless quality of the second section helps to portray the ethereal nature of the powers which the poet describes. The piece transitions into a more simple, lyrical section which juxtaposes the grandness of the ocean and the cosmos with the flight of a sky marshal. "The Beauty of Cosmic Things" is the grand prize winner of the Rachel Moore Choral Composition competition and was premiered in their concert series, Earthsongs: New Days on June 22nd 2019.
