​

Scottish poet George MacDonald's verse about the sureness of rebirth is brought life through this dynamic, driving, and triumphant setting.  Featuring layered vocal textures, melodic interest for all voice parts, harmonic and dynamic twists and turns, and a satisfying climax, Sure is the Summer would make a great opener or closer for next concert!
