Chosen People
Chosen People traces a path from the Bible's iconic stories – the apple, the ark, the whale – to its more challenging questions of forgiveness and compassion. Widely arching melody lines wind though the accompaniment, moving through shadow and light, and ultimately leading to the song's prophetic conclusion: "The next chapters are ours to imagine."
The third movement of Kindling: Small Reflections on a Limitless Faith, Chosen People may be performed as a stand-alone piece.
* Note: The Choral Score is designed to be used with chamber ensemble performances as well as those accompanied only by piano. For all chamber ensemble performances, the conductor should use the Conductor's Score of the complete work (SEA-123-00).
