Performed by the Tallgrass Chamber Choir
Jacob Narverud, conductor
Measure me, sky!
Tell me I reach by a song
Nearer the stars;
I have been little so long.
Sky, be my depth,
Wind, be my width and my height,
World, my heart's span;
Loveliness, wings for my flight.
Horizon, reach out!
Catch at my hands, stretch me taut,
Rim of the world:
Widen my eyes by a thought. - เพลง
Elaine Hagenberg and Jacob Narverud are my two favorite composers when it comes to choral music.

this is so real me too
If ever there was a sense of LIFTOFF, taking wing to breadth of sky, aerials of sonorous beauty, it's your music that swells and stirs the heart!
My son absolutely adores this song. He sang it last year in Honor's Choir. He is learning to play this on the piano by sight reading (he's never had lessons) because he doesn't have a track that he could listen to enough times to figure out the notes directly. I found your video and he's excited as he may get the "hard part" learned. He says this song (music) is heavenly.
True
I learnt this song last year in all state. I’ve adored this song ever since! This is the only song that’s made me cry in concert.
I watched this at all state. All I can say is all my makeup came off. Absolutely amazing pice of music.
I also watched this at All State in Yakima!! It was magical and I had multiple friends in the choir which made it even better. Some of us decided to form an octet to sing this at Solo & Ensemble contest next year.
Hagenberg pulls heaven down out of the sky and wraps it around you like a big warm terrycloth bathrobe!
Beautiful!!!!!😍😍 My choir is doing this song this spring, and its wonderful!❤Thank you Elaine for writing such an extremely epic song!
I watched your premiere. I performed "By Night" in the TMEA High School Treble Choir this year, and since then I have looked up your other pieces. It's safe to say I fell in love with your music. Your style is so beautiful and your pieces have MEANING to them. It's my dream to become a music teacher, and I've been telling myself for a while that when it comes time to pick music for my kids to perform, yours will be the first I go to. Please never stop what you're doing. You have an amazing gift.
There had never been another composer where all of their music took me to another universe emotionally ❤❤❤❤ THANK YOU ELAINE ❤️❤️❤️❤️
We sang this for our spring concert and tour and it's my favorite piece I've ever performed now
Woww...when i close my eyes and listen this song...i feel my soul and spirit lifted up...very shooting...calm and peace❤
You are so talented! This perfectly depicts the beautiful vastness of the sky, and our world. Thank you, and happy new year.
Im doing this song as a tenor at my high school for our spring concert. By far my favorite i've ever done.
agreed
This Song took my breath away! Amazing performance. Looking forward to hearing more works from you!
Beautiful. All of your pieces bring me chills.
You are a musical genius. I absolutely love this piece. It's beautifully written and wonderfully crafted. Thank you for making this amazing work of art.
I’m in Treble and Bass choir and the honors choir sang this beautiful masterpiece. They did such a good job.
thank you FHS choir for making me cry every single time you performed this
My choir is doing this for our first competition. We all love Elaine Haggenburg and think this song is ethereal. Can't wait to perform it together.
I was a soprano 1 and even though this strains my voice alot it is still such a amazing piece
I am a soprano 1 and we are singing this at our concert this weekend it is vocally exhausting but I love it!!
This song is so stirring! Our choir , Richmond Choral Society, Staten Island, New York , will sing it as part of our Spring concert. Looking forward to it!
My choir is singing it this Fall! Bakersfield College Chamber Singers!
Absolutely beautiful. I love the piano accompaniment and intricate harmonies.
Danke Elaine! Sehr schön, wie alle deine Arbeiten. Ich bin ein großer Fan von dir, ich höre fast jeden Tag deine Musik. Möge dieses Jahr für Dich gesegnet sein!
I sung at University of Georgia for a music institute my fave song
Beautiful harmony touching heart😊 hope to learn this piece in my choir
Im sure will deliver good vibes to listeners🎶🎶💖
Thank you Elaine! Beautiful❤
after first performing By Night at ACDA nationals last year, singing O Love for community choir 2 years ago, and singing this piece now in that same community choir, I have been so inspired by your music and your arrangements. i would love to sing more of your pieces every year or to get a piece commissioned for one of my performances from you. You’re amazing, Elaine! Keep doing what you’re doing!
I just sang this for All State Choir. My high schools chamber choir sang it this year, and I’m planning on forming an Octet and performing this song
Lovely, as always
Incredible
Fantastic! I recently composed a 4-part SATB piece using one of Speyer's poems, Summer Sorrow! Her poetry hits my soul just right!
YES.
Our group is doing this song for KMEA this year and I can confidently say that it’s one of my favorites
MIGHT BE THE PRETTIEST PIECE OF ALL TIME.
Does anyone know where I can find ONLY the soprano 1 part? I need to learn it for Districts.
I would check the website!
Or shouldn’t they provide the tracks with the music?

So beautiful. Glorious. But why are you speaking to the creation and not the creator?
Not everyone believes in any sort of God. She may be one of those people. That, and we are allowed to appreciate the creation itself without immediately talking about a creator. ❤
