GARRETT HOPE, SISTERS

Garrett Hope, SISTERS
For Choral Ensemble
Duration: 3:55
Sisters is a fast-paced, high-energy composition for high school women’s chorus encompassing the textual themes of beauty and the power of supporting each other. A rolling and constant accompaniment pattern is used in the piano to drive the rhythm and support the long vocal lines. The middle section of the composition concludes with a glorious moment of imitation and counterpoint that opens with a pair of solo voices. Text by Joel E. Jacobson.
A Composers & Schools commission for Savannah Arts Academy for Visual & Performing Arts under the direction of Russell Watkins, Director of Vocal Activities and East High School under the direction of Brett Epperson, Vocal Music Director
