Rene Clausen : I Thank You God

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.

Rene Clausen : La Lumiere

Rene Clausen's impressionistic La Lumiére (The Light) is a wonderful, sensual experience in tone color and texture. As the poet's spiritual perception changes, he views his visual landscape in a new light. In much the same way, Clausen transforms the listener's aural landscape with layer upon layer of changing harmony and musical texture. Written for a cappella choir with divisi in each voice part, this modern impressionistic choral will showcase the talents of the most discerning ensemble.
