Trees

"Mighty tree tow'ring over me, give me air, so we humans can dare to achieve the reality in which we believe. The pages of a book and a wooden nook. Taken against our will to the paper mill. Cut down for your comfort and ease, do you hear the animals pleas? The forest will fight back, fire the attack. Resources you will lack. Barren and dry land by your own hand. If a tree is cut down, will it make a sound? One that most will not hear, but it will be felt in the coming years." This piece was inspired by stories about how even more land is needed for agriculture and more trees are being cut down for human production. Our present actions will have long-lasting impact. This SATB a cappella piece will be a powerful piece that will make a statement in your secular program, and can work with ensembles that are advanced high school and above
