This lyrical and emotional setting by John Leavitt creates a harmonic tapestry that perfectly matches the text of unknown origin: “Do not stand at my grave and weep. I am not there, I do not sleep,” Creating an atmosphere of hope and assurance, it begins softly and gradually builds to a full and dramatic expression, then recedes into quiet reflection. Available separately: SATB, SSA, TTB, ChoirTrax CD. Score and parts available as a printed edition and as a digital download (fl 1-2, ob, cl 1-2 (in A), bn, perc 1-2, hp, vn 1-2, va, vc, db). Duration: ca. 3:00.
