Commissioned by Hennepin Avenue United Methodist Church in Minneapolis, to celebrate the service of William H. Mathis, Minister of Music and Fine Arts. It was first performed on June 11, 2017. The noble spaciousness of this wonderful poem by Catherine Cameron is set to original music expressed in the nature of an arpeggio, which can take us to the heights in just an instant. Trumpet calls echo through this arrangement. For SATB chorus, sometimes in unison, sometimes in two parts, the piece moves to its soaring conclusion, "Great Creator, give us guidance, Till our goals and yours are one."
