The final triumphant verse features a majestic descant and transitions into a sonorous conclusion on the final phrase, good will to all.

Here is the traditional spiritual in a contemporary and dramatic setting for women's unaccompanied voices, opening with a beginning unison melody, performed in a slow, heavy manner. When the tempo picks up, the melody is supported by the other voices and a recurring rhythmic groove that adds to the urgency of the text.

With vocal sounds evoking the rushing wind, this setting of the 13th century Latin sequence moves into an opening chant over djembe accompaniment. Expansive phrases transition into a driving accelerando of vocal clusters and finally a broad and spacious ending with the repeated word spiritus, and the sounds of the swirling wind. An ideal opening selection or processional!

The text of this reflective and expressive work provides a rich metaphor for healing as it suggests that difficulty and sorrow can be used redemptively in our lives. At the point in the text where the phrase a frail bell posed a chime is heard, the unmetered voices evoke the sound of a wind chime, building to a forte, then gradually diminishing to a quiet conclusion. With piano, wind chimes and finger cymbal.
Composer: Dan Forrest
Opening with four-part unaccompanied voices singing the text, Live in the sunshine, swim in the sea, drink the wild air, the work then bounds ahead with flowing vocal phrases over a rhythmic accompaniment to create an exciting work of hope, possibility and human kindness.
