Dedicated to 'sisters everywhere', this three-movement work combines a number of themes through the poetry of Sara Teasdale. The first movement, 'Sister of the Sky', focuses on the morning in early spring, with the voices ebbing and flowing like Teasdale's birds swept out to sea. The central movement, 'Fearless Heart', is alive with movement, reflecting the energy of the season, while the final movement, 'Sing before Night', calmly flows into evening.

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.
