Child of Wonder

The final movement of "The Sacred Veil", a twelve-movement work written with poet Charles Anthony Silvestri that chronicles the rich life of Tony and his late wife Julie, this plaintive piece serves as a benediction and farewell. Opening in divisi a cappella harmonies, the piano enters with a flowing motive to underscore the text "Turn your silvered sail toward the light ... stretched on ocean waves of endless foam, welcome home, my child, welcome home."
