## Summary

Choral octavo sheet music titled 'Stars' by Eriks Ešenvalds, for mixed choir (SSAATTBB) and water-tuned glasses, featuring text by Sara Teasdale.

## Description

One of Eriks Ešenvalds' best-known pieces is presented here in its original, mixed-choir version. Setting a text by Sara Teasdale, the piece was commissioned by the Salt Lake Vocal Artists and Salt Lake Choral Artists under conductor Brady Allred. Tuned water glasses are a constant presence in the piece, a glistening accompaniment to the glowing simplicity of this vision of "beating hearts of fire" seen overhead on a still, dark night. The wondrousness of a "heaven full of stars" is evoked by a radiant chorale before a repeated oscillation of a pair of chords, adding to the magic, recedes into silence.
