A soulful setting of the Nunc Dimittis, this piece evokes the same feeling of sacredness found in the majestic mountains and broad meadows of Appalachia. Juxtaposing freely delivered solo lines with declarative homophonic responses from the choir, the piece captures folk-like stylistic and structural elements from traditional Appalachian church music. This piece is for ensembles interested in this distinctly American musical tradition.
