The Birch Tree – 2-Part Treble – Choral Score – Digital

The birch tree is deeply rooted in the soil, known in Russian folklore as ”Moist Mother Earth.” The tree embodies everything that is graceful, tenderly sad, lost, but ultimately recovered and remembered. As always with Shirley McRae, she captures the essence of the culture in her well-crafted writing. Singing this piece somehow brings a picture of Russian birch trees into our midst. For young voices.
