About the Score

Commissioned by Blue Valley Northwest High School, Beth Richey-Sullivan, conductor. The piece was premiered by the Blue Valley Northwest Chamber Singers at their performance at the Kansas Music Education Association State Convention in 2023. A large ensemble from the high school performed the piece the following week at Carnegie Hall. The text was written by Cass Bryant, a student at the time, describing the impact singing in the choir had on her.

It is not to see It is not to hear But to weather a force It is not conventional strength not a force so physical nothing so brutish as a bodily blow but the softest most gently consuming thunder of voices wielding the sounds of pain the chimes of rejoice the clashing chords of conflict and the sweet silence of its resolution so may we be caught in their chorus storm
