Finding the message from difficult experiences and telling the story is difficult but can be empowering. These words and personal experience serve as an inspiration for writing “The Wind will Carry My Song”, a SATB choral composition.

This beautiful traditional song from Scotland is arrangement for SSAA and was written for St. Patrick’s High School Treble Concert Choir. The piece includes tone clusters, rich harmonies and clever counterpoint and opportunities for solo or small ensemble work.

Based on the poem by Sir Charles G.D. Roberts, this piece uses garden imagery to paint a story about a conventional person seduced by the appearance of the free spirited and non-committal “Carmenesque” person.
