A reflection on the generosity and interdependence of trees
Commissioned by Twin Cities Women's Choir / Mary Bussman
Poet/Lyricist: George Ella Lyon
The cello and piano -- possibly the most graceful instruments ever crafted out of wood - are the centerpiece for this lyrical song about giving, receiving and interdependence. A whimsical list of trees forms a vocal counterpoint for George Ella Lyons' elegantly simple stanzas, which are passed gently from one voice part to another.
