2 rounds for flexible voicing.

1. When I Rise Up
This bright, joyous 3-part canon is an embrace of all of life, from its beginning to its end. A stunning concert opener, accessible to all ages and vocal combinations. Consider teaching it to your audience!

2. Make Me One

Text

1. When I rise up,

When I fall,
let me fall without regret
like a leaf.

2. At night, make me one with the darkness.
In the morning, make me one with the light.
