What Is Wonder?

Description

Bubbling with curiosity, this stunning Andy Beck original is equal parts artistic and educational. Singers search for examples of wonder in unison first, before each section takes the lead, while the other adds simple counterline interjections. A sweet, soft solo creates some chills in the middle, before a big choral crescendo. On the final refrain, we discover that Part I's soaring tall-vowel melody and Part II's driving patter-text fit together in partner song perfection. As a special touch, performers are invited to lift their eyes in wonder on the final piano chord.
