Jacob Collier's glorious finale to his epic four-album Djesse collection is available for the first time for choirs everywhere to perform!

This setting begins in four parts and builds over the course of six minutes to sixteen parts, carefully organized and laid out in open score (with rehearsal piano reduction), and with dynamic markings capturing the expression of the recorded performance on Djesse: Vol. 4 by The Aeolians from Oakwood University (conducted by Jason Max Ferdinand). The maximum is SSSSSAAAAATTTBBB, with the staves laid out as S1a/b, S2, S3a/b, A1a/b, A2a/b, A3, T1/2, T3/B1, B2/3. The use of a/b divisi is due to the fact that the those parts only go to divisi for a new chords at the end of the piece. There is also plenty of part-doubling throughout the arrangement, and this has been carefully considered to aid both balance and voice-leading, although the former is given priority. 

Collier pulls no punches emotionally or technically with this piece, which features Bass 3 singing C1 in a few places and Soprano 1 singing D6 in the final moments. Choirs without the lowest bass notes can safely omit them and sing the Bass 2 parts instead.
