Dan Forrest’s fourth major work continues in the vein of his previous major works, exploring profound themes of what it is to be human. the breath of life ponders the beauty - yet brevity - of human life as portrayed in a single breath. Its profoundly moving texts (ranging from ancient to modern) explore life, loss, and the love that makes life worthwhile. Written just before the events of 2020, this work speaks with a prophetic voice, and would be a deeply fitting tribute for any concert setting, but particularly themes of memorial/remembrance.
