​

Written by British singer/songwriter Shannon Saunders, "Atlas" is a song about navigating the world of life on his/her own without the help of a partner. A partner that may have been previously in his/her life, the listener realizes that had no affect upon the main character's exploration of life and the song resembles a journey of the main character becoming themself "from the atlas". With unique quartal-quintal chords and 9ths, this song has a fast-paced explorative feel to it that manifests into an a cappella journey for the soloist. This was the opener for CMU Treblemakers 2020 ICCA set.
