The title refers to a traditional early American singing style based on reading a system of shapes rather than musical notes. Based on the Scottish tune “Pisgah” from the shape note songbook, \u003ci\u003eThe Sacred Harp\u003c\/i\u003e, the Variants begin simply with a statement by unison clarinets.

Destined to become a staple on required contest lists for years to come, this work provides an exceptional complement for any program or festival.
