Summer Going

for SSA choir and piano (2019)

Summer Going is an arrangement for SSA choir + piano of my third song from “Three Summer Songs” for SSAA choir, which I composed during the summer months of 2011 for conductor Angel Vázquez-Ramos.

Program Notes:
Summer Going is an arrangement for SSA choir + piano of my third song from “Three Summer
Songs” for SSAA choir, which I composed during the summer months of 2011 for conductor Angel
Vázquez-Ramos.
The song uses the text by Richard Le Galliene (in public domain) and depicts the passing of
summer. This piece have some folk-music influences in its rhythmic and voice-leading organization
and makes use of sung and spoken syllables to mimic the sound of crickets and to support the
ongoing rhythmic pulsation.
