Winter Is Past

"The rain is over and gone. The flowers appear on the earth, the time of the singing has come!" Written to acknowledge a coming together in song again after the most trying season of the pandemic, this song captures the re-emergence of life - and with it, the joy we take from making music, even as we reflect on all that has happened. Simple choral harmonies and a haunting cello accompaniment set the text with a reverence and poignancy that suits the occasion.
