Commissioned by the Texas Choral Directors Association for their 50th Anniversary Convention, this powerful work is accessible for both middle school and high school voices. Mark's original text explores the concepts of courage and bravery and how those character traits are lived out. "Courage lives, deep within the heart of every man...witnessed in the work of our own hands, shining forth in all we say and do." The powerful piano accompaniment swells with the voices to create an inspiring musical finish. A marvelous combined choir or inter-generational festival piece!
