Pavane Publishing is delighted to launch the Robert Istad Choral Series with this piece. Dr. Istad conducts the Pacific Chorale and heads the choral department at Cal State University Fullerton, who will be premiering this piece at the ACDA National convention in Dallas in 2025. With a truly welcoming text by Jalal al-Din Rumi, Derus creates a dreamy and etherial musical sensation.
