Having reached
an age where there are more years of my life behind me than ahead of me, I
am honored to be commissioned to set two powerful and thought provoking
poems to music. The words of these two fine poets express the meaning and
fulfillment of our past “working lives” and the wisdom, beauty and new
challenges of our “later lives”. I
hope you can attend these premieres.
“Gather up the Years”,
an
inspiring anthem of Centennial Celebration commissioned by the Pilgrim
Place retirement community, will be premiered by the
Pilgrim Place Chorale Centennial
