The Peace of Wild Things

This dramatic setting of Wendell Berry's great poem is one of the movements of the composer's larger work A Timbered Choir. An experienced ensemble will appreciate how the occasional divisi in each voice part creates a rich choral harmony; and your accompanist will truly enjoy setting the mood for the choir. The piece grows from a soft lament into an exultant climax. For more information on the composer's works visit www.johnnewellmusic.com.
