All At Once (Original)

Composed 1995

This is a unique work that is both personal and universal. It moves in seamlessly between unison, 2- and 4- part writing. The text is a series of images about the cycles of life…about past, present and future. At the song’s conclusion, time stands still for just a moment as “a choir of children sings.”

“All At Once” is the final piece in “Cycle,” four-song song cycle.
