Description
For SATB Chorus and Orchestra.
Poetry by Archibald MacLeish.
This is the full score/study score.
Ruth Schonthal composed this cantata for chamber choir and chamber orchestra in 1987. She finds musical language that pairs well with the evocative text of American poet Archibald MacLeish. “The Young Dead Soldiers” presents the tension between the two realms – the military and the church.
