The Unarmed Child

Composed in response to gun violence against children, this nine-movement work sensitively navigates this difficult, heart-wrenching subject with beautiful, poignant, healing words and music. Each movement deals with a different aspect of emotion in a uniquely expressive way. One cannot get through the experience without tears, but the final movement brings hope with an energized call to action. Orchestration is available from the publisher. Movements: Yesterday; Agnus Dei; Requiem; Bird on a Wire; To Avielle, on Her Fifth, Sixth Birthday; Lux Aeterna; Interlude; Come to Me, in the Silence of the Night and Where the Mind Is Without Fear.
