Notes

The anthem version of Weaving the World is 7 minutes long, for SATB chorus and piano.

The theme of Weaving the World is the contrast between the natural places where our soul finds refuge and peace, and the knowledge of war, although far away, and its consequences. The music is joyful, spirited, at times prayerful, reflecting the lively soundscape of a swamp. The celebration of nature’s beauty contrasts with the distant drumbeat of war.

The choral parts are challenging for amateur choirs. It is often tonal with complex harmonies anchored in tonal centers. The melodies are flowing and lyrical and very singable.
