Most This Amazing

for SATB chorus, two pianos and percussion

Scored for SATB chorus, with two pianos and percussion, this uplifting setting of e.e. cummings’ “i thank You God for most this amazing” was commissioned by the Wilmington Friends School to celebrate their 250th Anniversary. It is an excellent choice for pairing with the Killmayer reduction of Orff’s Carmina Burana.

There is, unfortunately, no live recording of the work.  The computer-generated recording above attempts to give a general sense of what the piece is like.
