A lovely, useful setting of the famous William Blake text, Ah, Sun-Flower! was completed in Papagou, Greece, on December 31, 2003. Influenced by Howells and Vaughan Williams, it has an economy of means that reflects the text's feelings of tenderness and intimacy. It received its first performance by Chicago a cappella during their 2004-05 concert season under the direction of Jonathan Miller.
Use: Christmas services and concerts; skilled college, community, professional, church choruses
