Delbaré (2014) – SATB a cappella (w/ soloist) (5′)
——————————————-
Book-ended by an expressive solo line, there is a constant teetering between lush and dense harmonic areas, active and static textures, and heartbreak and nostalgia. These varied gestures work together to provide a diverse landscape for an evocative text which focuses on a maddening desire for intimacy, a reflection on unrequited love, and a passionate longing for that which is unattainable. Appropriate for high school ensembles and beyond.
