A beautiful and powerful hymn-like setting, A Spirit Eternal was written as a memorial to the composer’s former Miami University student Stephanie Markham Minge who passed away in 2012 after a 7 year battle with cancer. Simple melodies, lush harmonies and soaring countermelodies bring tribute to a beautiful and courageous life that ended to soon. Beautiful and emotional!
