'Hope' is the thing with feathers (SSAA vocal score)

for SSAA and piano Presented here in an arrangement for upper-voices, this is a beautiful setting of an evocative poem by Emily Dickinson that explores the symbolization of hope as a bird.

Quartel offers soaring melodic lines, rich harmonies, and a fluttering accompaniment to illustrate the persistence of hope even through hardship.

Also available in a version for SATB and piano.
