When We're Gone 10,000 Years
from Choral Music Hosted by Amy Gordon
When We’re Gone 10,000 Years from Ocean Poems sets the beautiful poem of the same name by Jonathan Talberg, Director of Choral, Vocal, & Opera Studies at California State University, Long Beach. This piece uses hocket-like interplay between the vocal parts and metric displacement to create rhythmic propulsion. There is a limited set of rhythmic motifs used throughout the piece, including eighth note and quarter note trios, triplets, and metric displacement. The technique of text painting is used for certain words to bring the text to life, such as soaring, howling, and tumbling. Conductor: David Rentz Choir: C3LA: Contemporary Choral Collective of Los Angeles Composer: Amy Gordon Text: Jonathan Talberg
