Beyond Grief

for Mixed Choir (SATB) with Soprano Soloist

by Gordon Thornett

This setting is ideally suited for a good chamber choir with a high soprano soloist. Julie Myers’ beautiful poem suggests to the composer a journey from darkness to light, from despair to hope, and this is reflected in the music, which should be performed simply, but with expressiveness and conviction.
