Gladly Beyond is a lush and intimate choral setting of E.E. Cummings’ poem “somewhere i have never travelled, gladly beyond.” Scored for SATB choir with divisi and a soprano solo, the piece explores the vulnerability and awe of deep emotional connection. Gentle harmonic shifts and delicate textures mirror the poem’s quiet intensity, guiding performers and listeners through a world of stillness and wonder.
