Dreamers and Doubters

By Joseph M. Martin

This anthem is built on an alliterative text that describes the diversity of seekers moving toward the table of grace. An invitation to unity, the folk-like melodic theme is a worthy frame for this inclusive text. A quote from the beloved “Softly and Tenderly” sets the redemptive spirit of the piece and the flexible SA(T)B voicing gives directors a number of performance possibilities.
