Timothy P. Cooper
SATB and Piano
This exceptional early work of E. E. Cummings enjoys a brilliant musical setting that effectively captures its raw energy ("Eruptive lightnings flutter to and fro above the heights of immemorial hills") and exquisite peace ("No whisper mars the utter silence of the untranslated stars") with diverse choral textures and divisi in all parts. An impressive concert piece for the mature ensemble!
