In stock
This powerfully evocative and uplifting work celebrates the pursuit and eventual discovery of water. Brimming with freshness and vitality, The Miracle of the Spring encompasses a range of moods and styles that perfectly convey the essence of Charles Bennett's text, from the relentless rhythmic motifs that depict the arid landscape to the flowing aleatoric fragments that suggest the rush of spring. The simple percussion parts for glockenspiel, mark tree, and log drums add texture and drive to the a cappella voices and can be performed by two choir members or separate percussionists. Steeped in rich harmonies, infectious rhythms and unforgettable melodies, this piece will leave both choir and audience feeling inspired.
