“There Will Be Rest†Friday, September 24, 2010
Though best known as a composer of music for orchestra and concert band, Frank Ticheli has also written a number of notable pieces for choral ensembles. Using a text by Sara Teasdale, There Will Be Rest features tasteful harmonic suspensions and rich choral textures which bring the work to life with a delicate beauty that perfectly expresses the spirit of the poem: “There will be rest and sure stars shining over the rooftops crowned with snow…â€Â Scored for SATBB a cappella choir, this is a superb choice for concert appearances with more capable choirs any time of year.
