That Which Remains is a choral composition by Andrea Ramsey, an American composer and conductor. The piece was composed in 2016 and premiered on March 10, 2017, by the University of Colorado Boulder University Choir, conducted by Dr. Gregory Gentry. The composition consists of three movements, each with its own unique characteristics. The first movement, titled "The Wind," is a hauntingly beautiful piece that features a solo soprano voice accompanied by the choir. The music is slow and mournful, with a sense of longing and sadness that is conveyed through the lyrics and the melody. The second movement, "The Water," is a more upbeat and lively piece that features a rhythmic and percussive accompaniment. The music is energetic and joyful, with a sense of celebration and renewal that is conveyed through the lyrics and the melody. The final movement, "The Earth," is a powerful and moving piece that features a full choir and a rich, full-bodied sound. The music is slow and contemplative, with a sense of reverence and awe that is conveyed through the lyrics and the melody. Overall, That Which Remains is a deeply emotional and evocative composition that explores themes of loss, renewal, and the enduring power of nature. The music is beautifully crafted and expertly performed, making it a powerful and memorable addition to any choral repertoire.
