Description:
The author of the text for this choral, S. Frances Harrison, was a Canadian poet and composer writing at the turn of the 20th century. Two gemstone poems contrast each other beautifully: In Amethyst, we explore a mysterious sense of wonder driven by the opening motif. The piece expands and contracts with the text, coming to a climax with the strength of the field of fire section, ultimately giving way to a scintillating final chord. Chrysoprase embodies pure joy at the discovery of a new colour, with excitement building with each repetition of the melody. This energy drives the piece, diving into a world of enchantment.
