This concert's title is taken from a text by Wendell Berry, as set by Giselle Wyers, Cascadian Chorale's Composer-in-Residence, in her cycle Three Songs of the Earth. Several of the concert's texts describe how many aspects of naturetrees, birds, snow, even darkness itselfare imbued with music. We also include celebrations of music itself by William Billings and the Estonian composer Pärt Uusberg. And, since you too are part of the earth, the audience will have opportunities to join in a few sing-alongs!
