Dynamic changes add interest to the singable melodies and solid harmonies. Perfect for concerts, festivals, and adjudications.

This outstanding work has a multitude of uses: Music in our Schools Month, music advocacy, graduation, concert opener. But you might sing it simply because it's a beautiful "music" song that will touch your singers. It opens with two optional solos ("It starts with just a single voice, one you barely hear."), and develops into a strong statement for music ("When voices come together, the message can be strong."). Perfect for vocal groups of any age, or for combined choral concerts.

Composer: Sally K. Albrecht

A simple four-measure a cappella opening develops slowly and meaningfully into a gorgeous ballad of farewell. "I know you must travel your road as I must travel mine, but may our paths meet again sometime." Of course, it's an obvious choice for graduation, baccalaureate or end-of-year concerts, but we also recommend it as a closer for any concert. It just might become your choir's traditional encore.
