Thanks, and Thanks (2019)
Michael John Trotta (1978-)
Text by the composer and William Shakespeare, from Twelfth Night

Soloist:
Casey Cannon, Soprano

Notes:
Seasoned by his experience as a conductor at the primary, secondary, and university levels - as well as a church music director - Trotta's works are infused with an "intimate knowledge of the human voice and a rare sensitivity to the capabilities of a choral ensemble" (Fanfare).

"This a cappella setting opens with a haunting melody asking the question, 'what song can I sing in thanks for everything?' The answer comes from a rhythmic response setting from Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, 'I can no other answer make but thanks, and thanks, and ever thanks.' Mixed meter, contrasting sections, and suspensions make this an engaging piece for choirs and audiences alike." -- John Michael Trotta
