Great Flowing River (for SATB)

In response to the tragic and sudden death of a loved one, poet and lyricist Charles Anthony Silvestri wrote the lyrics for this song dedicated to the lost family member. Tony captured the spirit of the loss as “the great flowing river of love.” The opening measures of music are a metaphor of a slowing and finally stopping heartbeat. The rest of the music captures the joy and love that are our memories of a life together.
