Constant began as an original song by Amy Gordon in 2007, written in her college days. The lyrics and poignant melody express deep gratitude to those people in our lives who are by our sides for a long time. This “constant” could be a romantic partner, a parent, friend, community, or any entity whose lasting presence brings deep comfort, even in times of hardship. This arrangement for SSATBB reimagines this song in a lush, choral settng featuring rich harmonies and vocal jazz-inspired instrumental textures.
This piece would fit well in a concert about friendship and/or featuring a Mixed Voice Choir or 6-voice Jazz Choir.
