for SSAA and piano
Presented here in an arrangement for upper-voices, this is a beautiful setting of an evocative poem by Emily Dickinson that explores the symbolization of hope as a bird. Quartel offers soaring melodic lines, rich harmonies, and a fluttering accompaniment to illustrate the persistence of hope even through hardship.
Also available in a version for SATB and piano.

Über Autor(innen)

Sarah Quartel is a Canadian composer and educator known for her fresh and exciting approach to choral music. She celebrates the musical potential of all learners by providing singers access to engaging repertoire and transformative musical experiences. Deeply inspired by the life-changing relationships that can occur while making choral music, Sarah writes in a way that connects singer to singer, ensemble to conductor, and performer to audience. Although she has been a full-time composer since 2017, Sarah chooses to remain connected to her past as a music educator and is a guest teacher in her hometown of London, Canada. Sarah continues to work as a clinician and conductor at music education and choral events at home and abroad.
