Moving forward with the patient, deliberate steps of visionary souls past and present, this introspective song surveys the challenges of the world with clear-eyed compassion and resolve. By turns both heart-lifting and heart-rending, it concludes with a call to action for all people of conscience.
The second movement of Kindling: Small Reflections on a Limitless Faith, Pages 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).

For me, the reading of a newspaper brings many emotions in quick succession: joy, fear, sorrow, inspiration and pain. I brought this shifting emotional terrain into “Pages,” along with the patient, perseverant steps of many visionary souls.
