Description:
Unusual lyrics musing on the Biblical figure Elijah from contemporary poet Natalie Goldberg coupled with inventive compositional treatment from Chicago composer Paul Carey create an impressive sounding tour-de-force concert work for ambitious choirs. While stylistically paying homage to the great American spiritual tradition, range and rhythmic demands require a sophisticated choir to achieve the maximum effect. Duration: approx. 4:00. Recorded by the 2006 Michigan All-State Honors Choir, Sharon Hansen, conductor.
