When I came across this text, it really captivated me. Even though it has a somber and lonely feel, I love how well it expresses deeply-felt love and conveys that love knows no boundaries, not even death.

The music attempts to capture that deep love, somberness, depth, and the distance of death, through expressive lines mixed with harmonies that are close and spread, dissonant and lush, and sometimes deep.

I Would Hear was selected as the 1st Place Winner for Utah ACDA SATB Composition Contest. 

Suitable for University and advanced Community or High School choirs.

Text

I believe if I were to die, 
And you were to walk near my grave, 
From the very depths of the earth, 
I would hear your footsteps.
