Have you ever experienced a thought that continually circles your mind, one that you just can’t shake? It can feel like being stuck in a rut, endlessly going in circles.
Moses was guiding the people of Israel through the wilderness when they found themselves circling Mount Seir for many days. Then, they heard the powerful voice of God. The Lord said, “You have circled this mountain long enough. Now turn north.”
“Now Turn North” composed by Denice Rippentrop is for a SATB Chorus with 2 Bb Clarinets. The piece begins with a slow tempo, transitioning into a vibrant counterpoint section on the word “circled.” When “Now Turn North” is sung, a key change propels the composition forward.
“Now Turn North” is published by Beautiful Star Publishing.
