The Cloud, commissioned by the National Youth Choirs of Great Britain, sets Sara Teasdale's poetic descriptions of nature to music, evoking themes of freedom and transience. Quartel's melodic and uplifting style shines through a vibrant opening and reflective middle and end, unified by steady triplet figures in the accompaniment. Sopranos may divide to sing the children's choir part.

Über Autor(innen)

Sarah Quartel is one of Canada's most internationally celebrated and widely performed living choral composers. Her music is programmed globally, and her commissions have premiered in spaces such as Carnegie Hall, Canterbury Cathedral, and the famed Church of the Rock in Helsinki. Raised as a choral singer herself, Sarah is inspired by the life-changing relationships that can occur in group singing. She is known for her fresh, exciting, and chorister-centred approach to music making, writing in a way that connects singer to singer, ensemble to conductor, and performer to audience. Sarah also works as a clinician, visiting composer, and guest conductor at music education and choral events in Canada and abroad.
