Hold the Wind

 Year: 2006
for SSAA choir

  • Instrumentation
    piano for rehearsal purposes
  • Programme Note

    This setting continues a series of pieces using texts from the tradition of the African-American spirituals. It uses typical melodic and rhythmic ideas from pieces in that tradition. The opening lines recur as a refrain but also appear within each verse. As with many spirituals, the text tells of the promise of heaven.

    Hold the wind was written for North Shore Ladies Choir (conductor: Sheila Fox Evans).
