Beyond Grief – for mixed choir (SATB) and soprano soloist

This a cappella setting by Gordon Thornett is ideally suited for a good chamber choir with a high soprano soloist. Julie Myers’ beautiful poem suggests to the composer a journey from darkness to light, from despair to hope, and this is reflected in the music, which should be performed simply, but with expressiveness and conviction. The score can be viewed on the Swirly  Music site, which also contains an excellent recording by Matthew Curtis.  See http://www.swirlymusic.org/music/choral-music/gordon-thornett-beyond-grief-for-mixed-choir-satb-with-soprano-soloist/
