Description

Published by Graphite Publishing.

We wrote this during the 2020 quarantine, for a class of seniors who couldn’t finish their high school days together. Splitting from one unison statement to 2 then 3 parts and finally finishing in homophony shows the strength of independence and the joy of finally coming together.

I give you this patch of blue sky
You sing me a cloud passing by.
Together we build the sky.
Soar a bird, Flit a fly,
Fill it with song,
Your voice and mine
braided and bound,
Here, together, all along.

– Julia Klatt Singer
