With a pulsating and highly rhythmic piano accompaniment, composer Narverud's Ad Astra radiates energy. Filled with hope and empowerment, the text reads, "To the stars through difficulties, look upward, move forward, leave all cares behind." Ad Astra is an impressive, yet accessible piece for developing or advanced choirs alike. Also available for SATB Voices (CM9618), Three-Part Mixed Voices (CM9544) or SSA Voices (CM9579).
