This Day!
SSAA, divisi, with piano
Challenging
Upbeat, positive, hopeful, and inspiring! The text for This Day! is attributed to Kālidāsa (ca. 4th–5th century), a Classical Sanskrit author who is often considered ancient India's greatest poet and playwright.
The setting is quick and exciting with kaleidoscopic polyphonic textures and tone clusters in the voices and a flickering, mystical piano part. A great concert closer!
