Jessica's Analysis

It takes a certain attention-span and maturity to appreciate Frank Ticheli. Stylistically what most would categorize as classical, "Earth Song" is beautiful. Written for large group choruses, the piece has beautiful harmony, dynamics, and musicianship. Here's the breakdown: Lyrically, the song is about the impact music has had on a life. Music and singing have been his/her refuge, and music and singing shall be his/her light. For me, this is very true. Though it may not seem like the most interesting song in the word, give it a shot. You might be surprised what you appreciate when you give yourself a chance.
