Using a symphonic variant style (like that of Hindemith's Symphonic Metamorphosis), James Curnow has written a magnificent compositional exploration of themes based on the shape-note tune Resignation. Advanced groups love to play music at this level of challenge and substance, and directors will appreciate the developmental techniques woven into its fabric. Add a history unit on The Sacred Harp for some cross-curricular work.
