Drawing wonderful poetic parallels between the beauty of nature and the beauty of music, Music in the Mountains pairs rich text with flowing melody and accompaniment. It was written in honor of Lew Kirby, recently retired Director of Sacred Publications at Shawnee Press who has been an integral part of Shawnee Press’s annual Music in the Mountains conference. The vivid imagery in this choral embodies the refreshment and renewal that is often achieved when marrying music and nature. Use as a quiet beginning or meditative ending to your concert. It also includes alternate text for use in sacred settings.
