Swifter Than Flame by Elaine Hagenberg

"Swifter Than Flame" SATB Chorus and Piano by Elaine Hagenberg
www.elainehagenberg.com/swift...
Performed by the Iowa State Singers
Dr. James Rodde, conductor
"Swifter than flame, prevailing tempests race
Along the lifted steel that bars their way.
From solid street up to the shore of space,
Each granite edifice transcends the day.
Tower on tower reach a final rung
From which winged feet step upward out of night-
To find again forgotten planets hung
In orbits measuring a timeless flight."
-Carl John Bostelmann

Amazing as always! The ebb and flow of this piece is how I imagine the northern lights to sound so the background video was a perfect fit!
