SATB Double Choir unaccompanied (with two Soprano solos)
Nothing in American poet Sara Teasdale’s life was comfortable, and Jamie Powe projects in high relief its painful conflicts and tensions through this five-minute setting of her autobiographical sonnet ‘The New Moon’. Pounding, repeated chords dominate the first half, driven onward by an urgently meaningful minimalism like the anger and despair that gripped Teasdale’s thoughts, in a world of suffering at the hands of a hostile day. Only a glimpse of the new moon brings hope and peace, in quietly redemptive tones of a hushed chorale. The writing for a cappella double choir is dramatic and lyrical by turns – and accomplished throughout, the skilful work of a young composer who is also a rising choral director.
