Freely transcribed for band by Mark Hopkins from the original version for SATB a cappella, winner of the 2010 DaCapo Chamber Choir NewWorks competition.
Program Notes:
This emotionally uplifting work relies on gentle dissonances that ebb and flow with the Spanish text by Allison Girvan. It has been performed by youth choirs as well as professional ensembles and would make a great choice for festival competition.
