A Life Well Lived is the first publication in the Emily Crocker Emerging Composers Series. The piece uses the Edgar Albert Guest poem, Compensation, to consider what we would like to be able to say about our lives, looking back in old age. The melody has a familiar folksong sound similar to those heard in Ireland and Scotland. The addition of a pennywhistle or flute enhances the warm, comfortable tone of the piece.
