Description: The words are by Jo-Ann Krestan and Beth Anderson. The lyrics concern memories of old time hymns, life threatening experiences, survival as a woman composer, the search for love, perfect bliss and a descriptive critic. The music is a collage of American styles. It was commissioned and produced by Eclectix Inc. on November 15, 1997 at Cami Hall in New York City and sung by The Accidentals. It was also sung at a choral competition in Spain.
