Description

"Water's Voice", for SATB choir and narrator(s), is meant to call attention to the state of water in the world, while being an accessible choral piece. The traditional Western harmonies juxtaposed with the current global headlines about water calls attention to the privilege that many of us live with, and asks us to question how we think about water.
