Commissioned by the University of Michigan Men's Glee Club. This Megan Levad text centers on World War 1 and the United States joining the Allies fighting there. It remembers our young people who gave their lives in the meadows, hills and towns of Europe. This is a war poem in the form of a larger sonnet, but one that takes a larger historical perspective than simply focusing on the war to end all wars. The music ends with an expression of joy coming from the poet's metaphysical view that The Good is always possible.

Composer: Theodore Morrison

Written at the request of Eugene Rogers for his new series, Bound for the Promised Land uses three 19th-century melodies: the shape note hymn The Promised Land; and two Appalachian fiddle tunes, Santa Anna's Retreat and The Temperance Reel. Using the Celtic phenomenon called mouth music or lilting, the singers accompany the dance music as fiddlers in a light and energetic fashion. The hymn tune, published in 1835, is credited to Miss M. Durhan, and is thus probably the first music published in America by a female composer. Duration Ca. 4 minutes

Composer: J. David Moore
