Composer’s Notes
Sometimes writing music is siloed, where the composer is writing without knowing how the piece will fit with the other repertoire on a given program. Over the years, I’ve preferred writing with specific programming goals and assignments in mind so that the piece is informed by the music, people, and circumstances surrounding its creation. More Than Enough was such a piece, written for Cantus’ 2025 Tenor Bass Festival. Rather than an honor choir where there is a skill barrier to entry, the festival brought together a number of choirs of varying skill levels. To me, the result was more moving than that “honor choir excellence” many strive for because these young men came together over their shared love of singing rather than their shared skill level. The text to this piece came from that idea, that every single person has something to give to the world, no matter what. It’s inherent to being human, and no one can take that from you.
Let us hope that we all can learn from each other’s inherent worth and translate that into a better tomorrow.

Text
I believe in the world we can build together.
You and me, we can be the change.
Seed to sapling, twig to branch, my dreams a giving tree.
Belief in hope is what I have to give to those like me.
I have hope. In the end it’s all we have.
It’s enough to change the world.
I believe the sun is here to warm my weary soul.
I may not see it always shine but deep inside I know.
I have love. In the end it’s all we have.
It’s enough to change the world.
I believe that I am more, more than enough.
I believe that you are more, more than enough.
I believe that we are more, more than enough to change the world.
