Product Description
The title of the cantata was borrowed from the book The Living Cathedral: St John the Divine: A History and Guide. The following statement by St John the Divine expresses some of my motivation for composing it:
"St John the Divine embraces a community that extends beyond the Episcopal Church to include people of many faiths and cultures here in New York CityThe Cathedral is a living place of worship built on a foundation of purpose and inspirationSince its founding in 1893, the Cathedral has stood as a house of prayer for all nations, inspired by the wave of immigration that took place over the last four decades of the 19th century. The values of inclusion and community have remained integral to the Cathedral and all who visit."
It is my hope, not only for communities of faith, but for all people to strive and
achieve the human ideals of tolerance, understanding and kindness.
