All Things Right and True

"All Things Right and True" celebrates the human spirit and desire for good. The piece begins with a broad fanfare, answered with an exultant chordal line. From there, it moves into its initial stately theme. The theme repeats, this time including a call and response with a second voice. As with all life, however, peace and calm turn into chaos and hardship. Weaving lines and punctuated notes create stress and discord. But soon, all voices move toward agreement and usher in the majestic, slow theme. It brings about hope, signifying beauty and togetherness. The theme repeats with the addition of a soaring descant. From there, we hear a slow but hopeful transition, which leads toward an abbreviated recapitulation of the opening fanfare. The stately theme then returns, followed by a brief coda and a triumphant ending.
