This text of perseverence by Sir Henry Wotton is brought to life with this vibrant choral work. The shifting meter changes bring a dancing spirit with the optimism of the poetry. As the work progresses, the harmonic range reaches an expansion for each voice part to create their own melodic expressions. The piano accompaniment is accessible yet with its own challenges that continuously add to the song's liveliness. An a cappella section is soon reached for the choir to bring a new dynamic, recapitulating with a renewed and heightened energy of the song's opening stanza. The work concludes with a soaring freedom and emphatic declaration that will definitively be heard and felt by singers in the choir as well as your audience. Appropriate for general concerts and contests/festivals for high school and community choirs. Enjoy!
