This is a great piece of music. My high school group is about to play this for our winter concert. The first time they heard it, they were enamored!

Over 8 years ago and I weep at the beauty of these WYSO musicians whom I had the EXTREME HONOR and JOY with whom to work. My "The Lost" has never sounded so good...a somewhat prophetic 'title' given the global pandemic...next composition..."The Found"?
