Grace was commissioned by the Sloan Creek Middle School a cappella treble choir for their performance at the 2013 national ACDA convention in Dallas. Despite references to brief, bright moments fading fast, sorrowing hours and all we mourn, all we keep, the poetic and musical mood is not dark, but warm and hopeful. With the sensitive piano stylings that we have come to expect from David Brunner, this is a wonderful opportunity for young women to dig deep into their emotions.
