SKU: SF.SEA-007-00

Composed by Elizabeth Alexander. Choral. A mercurial musing on music’s mysterious source. Classical, 20th Century. Conductor Score. With Text language: English. Duration 10 minutes. Seafarer Press #SEA-007-00. Published by Seafarer Press (SF.SEA-007-00).

8.5 x 11 inches. The Musician Poem by Philip Dacey.

This mercurial musing on music's mysterious source draws its literary inspiration from a spirited poem by Philip Dacey, in which the sacred and secular merge into one powerful creative force. A rollicking 10-minute montage of musical styles ranging from Bach to barbershop, both lighthearted and ultimately transcendent.

Commissioned by Wisconsin Chamber Orchestra and American Master Chorale; David Lewis Crosby, artistic director (Madison, WI)
Voice parts are in a comfortable range, and orchestra parts are playable by a good community orchestra (i.e. no "killer" passages). The biggest challenge of this piece is frequent tempo changes, so everyone has to watch the conductor, but you want them to do that anyway, don't you? Range: Soprano: d'-g", Sop. solo: e" -c"', Alto: g-d", Tenor: d-a', Bass: G-d'(f ')

Text: In the great nave of the church, we eat noodles and throw dice, while at lunch in the cafe a man sinks to his knees, muttering prayers and touching the floor with his head. A minister delivers a sermon that sounds suspiciously like a recipe for coq au vin, while someone else has hung beautiful laundry out to dry on the wide-open arms of a cross. We're confused but happy to be so, unclear as to whether that was God who just walked by or a musician on her way to a concert, the whole next world squeezed into her black case.
