Sarasongs (2002) women’s choir, flute, clarinet & piano

commissioned by Concord Community Music School

The Concord Community Music School has always been an advocate for music for younger musicians, and commissioned this piece for a talented group of high school students. Embeded in the last movement is Bach's "Bist du bei mir", whose text I realized, almost exactly echoed Teasdale's later sentiment.
