Cameron's Song (April 12 & 9)—
Roger Emerson. "If I could turn back time, I would
not let you die, and you'd live that life of hope."
This important and moving piece was written
as a musical response to the sudden loss of a
student by suicide. Several solos weave in and
out of the simple yet poignant choral sections that
will provide ample opportunity for creative and
emotional expression in singers.
