Earth Song | Frank Ticheli (b. 1958)

American composer Frank Ticheli is professor of composition at the University of Southern California’s Thornton School of Music. Writing in The Bay Choral Guide for a 2011 concert entitled Pacific Passions: Music by West Coast Composers, he offered this commentary: “Earth Song is one of only a few works that I have composed without a commission. Instead, it sprang out of a personal need during a time when so many in this country, including myself, were growing disillusioned with the war in Iraq. I felt a strong impulse to create something that would express my own personal longing for peace …. In this case, I knew I had to write the poem myself, partly because it is not just a poem, but a prayer, a plea, a wish – a bid to find inner peace in a world that seems eternally bent on war and hatred. But also, the poem is a steadfast declaration of the power of music to heal …. Perhaps music has the power not only to nurture inner peace, but also to open hearts and ears in a world that desperately needs love and listening.”
