Singers and audience alike will thoroughly enjoy Christopher Aspaas' exquisite setting of e.e. cummings' poem “i thank You God for most this amazing day,” brought to you by the new Andre J.Thomas Choral Series. The lovely text inspires the composer to reflect on the importance of gratitude and create a celebration of the natural world's beauty and wonder. Beginning with a prayer of thanks to God for the “most amazing day,” filled with the sights, sounds, and sensations of nature, the speaker describes the “sun on the hill,” the “wind in the trees,” the “warm, white sand,” and the “cool, green sea.” These natural elements are depicted in vivid, sensual detail, inviting the listeners to experience them alongside the performers. Masterfully done. A great selection for graduations, weddings, festivals, and school concerts year-round.
