SAN JOAQUIN for SATB chorus Text by: William Everson
duration ca. 6 minutes
G. Schirmer, Inc. New York, NY
San Joaquin This valley after the storms can be beautiful beyond the telling, Though our cityfolk scorn it, cursing heat in the summer and drabness in winter, And flee it: Yosemite and the sea. They seek splendor; who would teach them must stun them; The nerve that is dying needs thunder to rouse it. I in the vineyard, in green-time and dead-time, come to it dearly, And take nature neither freaked nor amazing, But the secret shining, the soft indeterminate wonder. I watch it morning and noon, the unutterable sundowns, And love as the leaf does the bough. This valley… beautiful… beyond… the telling… —William Everson
for the citizens of Modesto, California past and present
San Joaquin for a cappella SATB choir William Everson
