40. My Friend Elijah NEW!

Natalie Goldberg/Paul Carey

2006 Michigan All-State Honors Choir, Sharon Hansen, conductor
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.
