Uses: General All Saints Day ConcertScripture: Revelation 21:2; Ezra 1:1-4Beginning with the languid strains of a stunning low voice solo and incorporating the traditional spiritual “CityCalled Heaven ” this compelling anthem is a mixture of styles.

With a poetic text written by a young poet this work perfectly captures the vulnerability of growing up with beautiful imagery of a roof as steady sheltering inclusive and warm - things all people need but especially the young. With rich harmonies arching phrases and violin obbligato this is a stunning work for concert and festival programming.
