Sang this with my choir last year, still my favorite song that we've ever done. I'm even getting the lyrics "I will make this world of my devising, out of a dream" tattooed on my ribs next year. This song means the world to me, and has seriously helped everytime I have an anxiety attack.

I played this magnificent piece my freshman year of high school in the second highest band... The sheer emotion within every single lyric of this poem and every note played by every instrumentalist caused a grand majority of us to cry on stage - myself included. I will never forget the feeling I get listening to this piece: Nostalgia, and a bittersweet serenity. Well done, and long live Sarah's words.

Sara Teasdale wrote this beautiful lyric, and then committed suicide. A troubled soul who was obviously was looking ahead to a better world in the afterlife. Knowing that makes this wonderful arrangement even more meaningful.

I have performed this, and it has stayed in my life. I now have the whole poem written on my arm as a tattoo. It means more to me than I can articulate. It's my declaration of life. As a poet, and artist, I hope to honor the pain, and legacy of Sara

So proud to have been a part to make this beautiful piece live. I was President of the California Pacific Chorale Guild when Frank Ticheli was commissioned to write a new choral work for the Chorale. He had never written a choral work before, and we raised $5,000 to make it possible. The Pacific Chorale debuted it 20 years ago.

A good friend of mine shared this very link on my Facebook Wall in April of 2015...days after my Son died of PTSD complications. Sam was a vet. This piece, this very choir...was a balm to my spirit, to my heart. I have returned numerous times in the past 7 years to listen again and again. I wrote to Frank Ticheli to thank him as well. Rest indeed. Peace...in the midst. Thank-you to each of you. Scott Sater

One of the most moving and inspiring moments of my life.

Not to mention the poem is also basically a suicide/death note from its writer. The text is derived from the darkest and saddest time in a life, and written from a personal perspective. I sang another piece with the same text - the music of stillness - which was, in my opinion, far more emotional and dramatic than this arrangement, where The Music of Stillness gave a sense of lost hope and the yearn for death and There Will Be Rest is written with a different chord progression that emulates hope in a sense that maybe things will get better.

It's filmed in multiple "takes"; for the opening he had it but, clearly, in later takes, he dispensed with it. Then again has it. Unfortunate that no one caught the continuity problem in editing. Still, it's a lovely version, even though I'm not thrilled with their diction.

CJ S absolutely not. I believe he uses the baton at the beginning to introduce the ictus. then he kinda clutches it in the plan of his hand. but the fact that you said the video is edited shows that maybe you don't know that much about live choirs with an audience you can't have that sound with multiple takes. sorry.

+Amy Swift On our sheet music, it says that the lyricist, Sara Teasdale, was haunted by depression in her later years and took her own life at the age of 48. Toward the end, she drew strength and hope from the stars and their permanent radiance, and There Will Be Rest is one of her last poems. It is ''a perfect summary of her lifelong concern for the stars and their ancient promise of peace".

It's was composed for a family who had lost a child. He had drowned in a pool. His mom had gotten into the jacuzzi and she, a severe diabetic, went into shock. The grandfather came out to check on both of them because they weren't gonna be out long, and he found them both in the water. Sadly the little boy didn't survive, but the mother did. This song is ultimately for them to find rest after losing their only child at the time.

+Amy Swift Hello Amy! I have the answer from you, straight from the horses mouth! In my sophomore year of high school, I had the absolute honor of performing this piece symphonically in an All-County band. In fact, it was on our venue because the man who commissioned the piece's creation was our conductor, Dr. Russel C Mikkelson (from Ohio State University)! This piece was commissioned by Dr. Mikkelson upon the death of his beloved father with whom he was very close, around the year 2000. He commissioned his friend, Frank Ticheli, to compose a piece to commemorate his father and his passing. I do not remember whether it was Mr. Ticheli or Dr. Mikkelson who first had the notion to use Sara Teasdale's awe-filling poem, "There Will Be Rest" as the lyrical basis, but I think it may have been Dr. Mikkelson. The experience was by far the most emotional and breath taking, awesome experience I have ever had playing a piece. Even ten years later, Dr. Mikkelson was still very raw about the death of his father, and as we practiced and finally performed the piece, he had tears rolling down his face every time. There was not a dry eye in the band or audience, it was truly incredible and one of the most moving experiences of my life, to see the true power of music. Hope this helps!
