for SATB
Text by Edgar Lee Masters
"Flaherty's music is hauntingly beautiful in its simplicity and understatement and van Zyl plays it to affecting perfection - a perfect fit for the wide and varied characters from Illinois' past that parade before us." [Pomona College Theater, Pieter van Zyl, musical director] |
