i thank You, God (HL 35010279)

This unique setting of e.e. cummings' celebrated poem “i thank You God” is a challenge, but the overall effect is stunning. Dissonance, tone color, and texture are ever-changing in this a cappella gem where chord cluster follows chord cluster. Changing meter and tempo further accentuate the unbridled happiness expressed in the text. Cummings' vividly painted words are well-suited to René Clausen's inimitable gift of melody. If you and your choir are up to a challenge, this stellar anthem of thanksgiving is for you.
