Choral Choir (SSA) - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.939136 Composed by Allyson B. Wells. Contemporary. Octavo. 5 pages. Allyson B. Wells #2332395. Published by Allyson B. Wells (A0.939136). Lightning. Water. Snow. is a setting of two poems by Emily Dickinson, for SSA voices. The composer, Allyson B. Wells, has long had an affinity for Dickinson's poetry. One of her earliest publications was a set of four of Dickinson's poems, entitled Songs from Emily, published in 1975 by Shawnee Press, when her name was Allyson Brown. The two poems in this new work contrast anguish and whimsy, as Dickinson tells of a lightning storm that may be perpetual, and then of how things are learned: Water is taught by thirst.....Birds, by the snow. This piece is approximately 2'45, and is suitable for high school, college, or professional choirs. Allyson B. Wells is a member of BMI. This piece is a 2016 Choral Contest Entry.
