A challenging, modern fugue requiring rhythmic intensity and constant metrical shifts. This piece keeps all four parts busy, particularly the basses, who churn along as the motor of the piece throughout. This piece was premiered by Resonance Vocal Ensemble in the summer of 2018. Text from Psalm 81. Appropriate for intermediate to advanced high school choirs and above.
