Because of Those Who Came Before
mixed chorus, piano  (2004)  2'
lyrics by Barbara Pescan

published by Sweet Child Music

  • commissioned by William Kirchgasser and Betsy Northrop for the Unitarian-Universalist Church of Canton NY
  • UU Musicians Network Silliman Anthem Awards, special distinction, 2004
A short lyrical piece, originally written for a church choir.  It's spiritual without being specifically religious, so it's also suitable for concert use.  It is simple (diatonic), and is voiced to sound full with even a small chorus.
