This exuberant original just sizzles with energy and features a text of selected lines from Arthur O'Shaughnessy's famous poem, "Ode." ("We are the music makers, and we are the dreamers of dreams...") It also makes an ideal festival piece for multiple choirs by utilizing a treble choir or smaller group on the descant part. Several musical quotes are spoken during the brief contrasting section which fuels the excitement for the powerful ending. Programming options abound! |
