Elaine Hagenberg Music Song of Miriam - Sohn/Hagenberg - SSA

Text Author: Rabbi Ruth Sohn
Music: Elaine Hagenberg
Format: Choral Octavo
Voicing: SSA with Piano

Inspired by the empowering poem by Rabbi Ruth Sohn, this piece for SSA choir with piano describes the journey of a young woman who finds bravery amid uncertainty and fear. Middle Eastern harmonies paint an expansive desert landscape, while the voices search for faith and risk taking the first step, ultimately conquering fear to find the "song in my heart." Soaring melodies and choral rhythms that create a delicious tension against the piano accompaniment make this a wonderful choice for mature treble choirs.
