Sheena Phillips: Circle of Life: SATB: Vocal Score

Native American Song-poems-This five movement work for SATB choir is based on five different Native American peoples. The sequence starts with Falling a lullaby and ends with Rising an image of spirits gently swaying on their final journey above. Between these two lie Waking a celebration of the joy of being alive Singing which expresses the experience of attending deeply to the natural world and Leaving in which images of autumn remind us poignantly that we must all one day depart from this earth.
