Beauty That is Never Old

This secular piece, set to a text by James Weldon Johnson (the writer of Lift Every Voice and Sing), is for unaccompanied mixed chorus. A love poem that perhaps was written for a special someone, the words are beautiful and poignant, expressing the deep fulfillment of a special and deep love. The musical setting is direct, with warm and lush harmonies that hopefully amplify the depth and meaning of Johnson's eloquent prose.
