For ensembles committed to the art of performance and secure in contemporary idioms this score offers a refreshing take on a much-loved poem by Emily Dickinson. The composer is also a singer steeped in jazz, improvisation, folk and classical genres, whose music challenges and inspires choirs through her clear understanding of vocal potential. In The moon is distant from the sea, a melody of artless simplicity is floated through a seascape of blended aspirant, murmuring sounds and filigree vocal ornament, accruing depth and distance before a magical reprise of the opening gesture.
