Sir Brother Sun

These words of St. Francis of Assisi express a delight in all things of the universe: earth, wind and air, moon and stars, fire and sun, referred to endearingly as our sisters and brothers. The evocative nature of the text is reflected in the changing textures and colors of the orchestration, highlighted by solo winds.

Commissioned by the 2012 ACDA Women's Choir R&S Commissioning Consortium, the entire piece drives toward the last line of the Stacy Gnall poem “big brother, I am catching up to you.” One long, rhythmic race, this selection will be a wonderful contrast to much of the repertoire often included in women's choral concerts.
