Piano,Vocal,Voice - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.999887 Composed by William P. Gorton. 20th Century,Concert,Contemporary,Spiritual. Score. 3 pages. William P. Gorton #6116901. Published by William P. Gorton (A0.999887). The Welcoming Earth suggests that even death will be a state of peace and comfort, far from the strife of human conflict. This song was written in a time of emotional turmoil. Beautiful and haunting, it capitalizes especially on the bass colors of the piano, and gives assurance of an eventual respite from all our troubles. Simple and accessible, this piece would be great as part of a set on a faculty or student recital, or a professional art song recital, especially as part of a set (see other Gorton compositions).
