For SA Voices & Cello
Words by Rabindranath Tagore
Music by Craig Hella Johnson
Here is a setting of a Tagore text set for cello and treble voices. It was composed specifically for a Conspirare program called "The Singing Guitar," the Grammy Award-nominated album featuring three works for guitar quartets and voices. This was conceived as an introductory invocation which would reflect aspects of unfulfilled purpose and a longing for intimacy with the Divine. It will gracefully fill the same role in your concerts.
