Stars to Hold by Victor C. Johnson - vocals with lyrics

Victor C. Johnson transforms Sara Teasdale’s sea-and-starlight imagery into a striking emotional arc in this original concert work. The sensitive arrangement follows peace arriving like the tide, deepening as the full-voiced choir rises to its artistic peak before returning to the quiet plea that began the piece. A shimmering piano part and an optional cello obbligato provide warmth throughout. “Give me your stars to hold.” Voicing: SSA Copyright ©️ Alfred Music Publishing Release Year: 2026
