From the Underground

Description

This is an energetic work for high school voices with a creative piano accompaniment.

“Once the rhythmic aspect of the piece is grasped the emotional core becomes immediately evident: the song’s subject is filled with a fearful intensity that grows in desperation. This song conveys an urgency through its steady and clipped rhythms, and seeks to warn others of the fear that grows within them. Many choirs have said that the piece is “very fun” – which I believe speaks to the joy of being immersed in an intense emotion. Inspiration for these emotions can come from anywhere – even from the underground.” — Dan Wiebe
