Stephen Paulus: Through All Things: Chœur Mixte et Accomp.

Commissioned by the American Composers Forum for the ChoralQuest program, this energetic and rhythmic work celebrates a motion and a spirit that runs through all things. Created by composer Stephen Paulus in residence with a middle-level choir, this challenging and captivating piece will be fun to learn as well as perform. Free interdisciplinary curriculum for the piece is available for download at choralquest.com. ChoralQuest®, an exciting series of new music and accompanying curricula for middle-level choir, is a program published by the American Composers Forum. The series is designed to breathe new life into the available repertoire for choral students in middle school and junior high. At the heart of this program are new works written by a diverse group of leading American composers who have created challenging pieces that are a true departure from standard middle school repertoire. Based on the success of ACF's decade-long BandQuest® program, ChoralQuest has a residency component in which the composer works collaboratively with a middle school as they create their new piece.
