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.
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.
i was there too! All i could think about wednesday-friday was performing this sing at the concert, and imagining everyone’s faces..its beyond gorgeous.
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.
Singing this at a concert this coming fall for an all state honor's choir along with 103 other hs students. It's such a great song for musically talented students and not to mention the message is beautiful. A true tear jerker.
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!
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 am absolutely obsessed with this piece!! I’m doing it as an Alto and I’m actually nailing all the runs! Definitely one of top favorites in all 11 years of choir I’ve done!
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!
Me and my choir just started this so next March we can go to ny and sing this at Carnegie hall with tons of other choirs and I’m so excited bc I love singing high, I’m a first soprano!
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!
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. ❤
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!

I watched this at all state. All I can say is all my makeup came off. Absolutely amazing pice of music.

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.
Elaine Hagenberg and Jacob Narverud are my two favorite composers when it comes to choral music.

I sung this song with my choir this past spring! We even made a music video that's now on TH-cam. I'm obssessed with it!
This Song took my breath away! Amazing performance. Looking forward to hearing more works from you!
You are so talented! This perfectly depicts the beautiful vastness of the sky, and our world. Thank you, and happy new year.
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!
We sang this for our spring concert and tour and it's my favorite piece I've ever performed now
Absolutely beautiful. I love the piano accompaniment and intricate harmonies.
Hagenberg pulls heaven down out of the sky and wraps it around you like a big warm terrycloth bathrobe!
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.

thank you FHS choir for making me cry every single time you performed this
I’m in Treble and Bass choir and the honors choir sang this beautiful masterpiece. They did such a good job.

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!!
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.

I saw people from high school preform this while at the Music Fest 2023 at Ruth Eckard Hall
I'm just a girl... WHO LOVES MEASURE ME SKY (the alto line thoooo)
Fantastic! I recently composed a 4-part SATB piece using one of Speyer's poems, Summer Sorrow! Her poetry hits my soul just right!
Our group is doing this song for KMEA this year and I can confidently say that it’s one of my favorites
Incredible
Lovely, as always
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?
Did this at all state with Andrea Ramsey, beautiful piece

So beautiful. Glorious. But why are you speaking to the creation and not the creator?
