Snowflakes

SATB chorus a cappella

“Snowflakes” is a short, peaceful, wintry song for a cappella SATB chorus, with lyrics by Linda A. Copp. The piece was commissioned by Cantabile Chamber Chorale, directed by Rebecca Scott, for performance in their 2003-04 season.

This piece is a great choice for high school and college, and the “Quartet Pack” option makes it ideal for a group of four singers.

Snowflakes spill from heaven’s hand
Lovely and chaste like smooth white sand
A veil of wonder laced in light
Falling gently on a winters night.

Graceful beauty raining down
Giving magic to the lifeless ground
Each snowflake a falling star
Smiling beauty that is spun afar.

Snowflakes spill from heaven’s hand
Lovely and chaste like smooth white sand.
Till earth is dressed in a robe of white
Unspoken poem the hush of night.

Because the poem had “gestated” for many years, I […]

Beyond Grief for Mixed Choir (SATB) with Soprano Soloist by Gordon Thornett • 2' 3"	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.

If Ever There Is for SATB choir a cappella by Rich Campbell • 5'15"	“If Ever There Is” is a setting of “John’s Song,” by American poet Robert Creeley (1926-2005). The poem has a dedication to the poet John Taggart; the style of wordplay and repetition here can also be found in Taggart’s poetry. I hear it as a prayer for peace. In 1967 Creeley signed a “Writers and […]
