The Answer
The Answer - SSAATTBB - ASCAP ID 921495531
The Answer delves into the profound journey where great sorrow gives rise to the deepest joy. Drawing on the text of Sara Teasdale, the piece captures the emotional contrast and transformative power of grief—where pain does not diminish life, but deepens its beauty.
Musically, the work mirrors this emotional arc through soaring vocal lines, rich harmonic tension and release, and moments of intimate stillness balanced by powerful affirmation. Ideal for advanced ensembles, The Answer offers expressive challenges and interpretive depth, inviting choirs to explore the delicate balance between pain and hope.
This piece is especially fitting for concert programs centered on transformation, mortality, identity, or the enduring human spirit.
