crossing the sea takes time (2026) for SATB choir, youth voice and piano

The text and music for crossing the sea takes time is about supporting someone through any struggles they may be experiencing, and creating a place of safe, and home for them. This piece is meant to speak to the message of friendship, bonding and support, while using the metaphor of the sea to do so. Even just everyday expectations can feel like a heavy weight on people's shoulders, so it's important as a society that we recognize this and acknowledge that everyone's struggles are different, and leave a light out for everyone in our lives.
