The Garden

This beautifully lyric original anthem is based on a Beverly Easterling poem that employs strong images and metaphoric language to deliver the message of Christ's redemption.  Expressive and hopeful, the work is also richly choral and accessible to choirs of any size.  A masterfully conceived piano accompaniment is sweeping yet not difficult and keeps the momentum of the work moving forward to a thoughtful conclusion.  Very nicely done!
