King of Prussia, PA – The final work in the prestigious Ithaca College Choral Series, Steven Stucky’s Gravity’s Dream (342-40198 — $1.95) for a cappella SATB chorus is based on the enticing poetry of Kate Light. From the text: “Gravity’s trembling blue dream of sky, of leap without landing, of above, of fly / of fleet and seamless scrawl to where / to whoo to howl to wind to why.” This work’s soaring nature and sophistication make it perfect for a university choir.
