Composition Spotlight: “Seek a Place of Breathless Beauty “

COMPOSITION SPOTLIGHT ~ by Jack Senzig

 

(Each week we look at one or two of the best choral works posted in the Composition Showcase here on ChoralNet.  This is where we store a treasure trove of works that your choirs will love to sing and your audiences will love to hear.)

 

Seek a Place of Breathless Beauty  by Philip Orem for SATB Flute and Piano (Click here for PDF and here for AUDIO)

 

Level: Church Choir

Uses: Ordinary Time/Sundays after Pentecost, Funeral

Program Themes: Peace, Beauty

This Piece Would Program Well With: Speak and We Will Hear by Joseph Martin available from Sheet Music Plus and JWPepper.  

 

This is an excellent piece to start off the year.   The range and difficulty level are right for your typical church choir.  There is one G above the staff for sopranos that could easily be sung down the octave if that is an issue for your choir.  With the addition of the flute part, Philip Orem really caught my attention with Seek a Place of Breathless Beauty.
