Consider the Lillies

The featured work, Timothy Powell’s Appalachian Requiem “Consider the Lilies,” intends to capture the sounds and feelings of the North Georgia mountains where the composer grew up. It was a place where “rugged, unaccompanied voices…echo and filter down through the trees.” Filled with imagery from nature and infused with the innocence of childhood, “Consider the Lilies” was composed after a life-altering tragedy for Powell, providing a means for him to work through his grief. Singers and instrumentalists from Clayton State University join us for these two performances.
