As the inscription on the statue that greets you as you enter Texas Woman's University, this message is powerful and empowering. The primary octavo is for SSAA choir, piano and percussion but there is an alternate full score and parts for string quartet and percussion. Singing of "making a path in a pathless wilderness" and "pressing forward with unswerving courage" this song addresses the strength of women and their ability to conquer adversity in ways that only they can.
