Reapers All with Their Sharp Sickles, The [level: Medium]
Elisha West, arr. Seth Houston: Bio and other works | Jo-Michael Scheibe Choral Series

voicing: SATB/sop solos | catalog number: SBMP 996 | duration: 4:20 | price: $2.30
accompaniment: a cappella

Based on the American 18th century folk hymn Meditation, the text uses the metaphor of harvest for death and the second coming. A picturesque, dramatic piece, it opens with a lone soprano singing the folk-style melody, and builds to layers of singers proclaiming the message.
