Fly On

LTCHS CHAMBER CHOIR AND LADIES' CHOIR

Mixing the words of a 14th-century mystic with Carl Sagan's notion of the pale blue dot is one way to get perspective - on the world, on humanity, and on aloneness.  

This is the premiere of "Fly On" (SSA+piano), performed and recorded in Red Deer, Alberta, Canada. 

See the score to "Fly On".
