Concert Band - Digital Download SKU: IZ.CBW221-S Composed by Gary Gazlay. Score. 16 pages. Imagine Music - Digital #CBW221-S. Published by Imagine Music - Digital (IZ.CBW221-S). 8.5 x 11 inches.This chorus is a setting of a sonnet from an 1874 collection by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807–1882). It vividly describes the appearance of The Galaxy (The Milky Way) with a stream of images: “Torrent of light, the “river of the air whose bed of “glimmering stars appear “Like gold and silver sands in some ravine / Where mountain streams have left their channels bare! Before sharing his poetic opinion of just what The Galaxy is, Longfellow dismisses the view of the eleventh-century Spaniard, who sees it as “the pathway for Santiago Matamoros* to “descend…in celestial armor to save the Christians from the Muslim Moors. Nor does he endorse the ancient Greek view that The Galaxy amounts to a sky “scorched [by] the hoofs of Phaeton's§ horses, when he almost set the world on fire by driving his sun chariot too close to the earth.Ultimately Longfellow sees The Galaxy as “the white drift of worlds o'er chasms of sable, / The star-dust…whirled a loft…From the invisible chariot-wheels of God.The music reflects many of the poem's images, for example: women's voices alone at “gold and silver sands; an open fifth at “channels bare; a quicker tempo at the militant reference to the Spaniard; longer notes at “heav'ns were fair; fugato entrances and a faster tempo at “hot coursers trod; upward spiraling sixteenth notes at “stardust that is whirled aloft; and a climax followed by a softening uncharacteristic chord progression at “invisible chariot-wheels of God.
