About Change
Kenneth Langer’s secular canon Change directly addresses its title, exploring the paradox of constancy in flux. The text declares that change is the only thing that never changes, the sole element that remains constant. This philosophical idea is set to a musical form that is inherently about repetition and development, as canons unfold with voices entering in imitation. The composer uses this structure to underscore the lyrical theme, creating a piece that is both intellectually engaging and musically satisfying. The concise English text offers a clear message, making it accessible for choirs looking for a thought-provoking yet straightforward choral work.
