LYRICS
Wide, worn and weathered,
Sacred expanse
Of green and white and granite grey;
Snowy patches strewn,
Anchored to the craggy earth,
Unmoving;
While clouds dance
Across the vast, eternal sky.

    Im back again. My chorus director passed on shortly after I graduated, and I couldnt imagine the pain of his current students. Nearly every day I think of you, Mr.K, because its thanks to you that I have any confidence as a singer. Its thanks to you that my conviction with singing is so… there. You were the only thing that got me through high school, and when we did this song all together, it felt like a spiritual experience. The audience was in tears and I was as well. I still am in tears listening to this now and singing (Alto 1). I miss you so much. This song is like a reminder of the beautiful soul you were and the effect you had on all your students. I will never forget this feeling and I will always long for my chorus days with you. ❤

    Had the privilege of meeting Mr. Gjeilo when he visited my school in Minnesota, at least a decade ago. His music is one of my favorites to recommend and listen to, among other great artists like Eric Whitacre. Everyone else wanted to sing the Beetles, I wanted to do Ola Gjeilo music.
