Product Description
New and original music by 21st century, American Costa Rican composer James Nathaniel Holland.
This beautiful piece arranged for SATB choir and piano (or harp or organ) is adapted from the ballet the Wind in the Willows. This piece is perfect for funerals, graduations, or any solemn occasions. Text is non-religious, but expresses universal sentiments of one's helping others and impermanence.
Text:
"Those roads I have trodd'n
And the faces I have known,
If I've left a bit of good,
That is my salvation.
Though naught to fame,
or of great deeds reserved to claim,
or that fortune's passed me by.
Perhaps there's no great cause
To which I've sacrificed my life,
If I've lent one helping hand,
That is my salvation.
If no hymns of praise
to my name you raise,
Let that be my saving grace.
