Down the Silver Road

This selection is a comforting and uplifting setting of the poem To F.W. by Edith Franklin Wyatt, which describes the joy of growing old with a companion. It was premiered by the choir of Nazareth College, New York at a concert specifically for individuals living with Alzheimer's or other dementias and their families and caregivers. Alongside the flowing lyrical melodies is a simple vocal part that can be taught to audience members who may be encouraged to join in when it occurs.
