Lonely Travelers

Layering two songs which speak to the idea of searching for something beyond the current condition, this is an excellent piece for teaching the ensemble to blend so they can hear each other rather than be heard individually. Using 900 Miles and The Wayfaring Stranger for compositional material, thematic elements from each are interwoven into the overall musical fabric. A strong concert, contest, or festival choice, this work offers cross-curricular opportunities as well.
