“Home Suite”

This piece has no action or lyrics, and is played and sung during total stage darkness. It is the longest single piece of music I have ever written, and it is intended that the audience simply sits back, reflects, and enjoys.

A chorus of angels wordlessly sings, as the spirit-woman did in the song “Grace”, their profound joy in this suite of various styles of song. It is their hymn of worship and thanksgiving to their Creator. “Home” in the title refers to Heaven.

 “Mosey on Home”

In this cowboy-style piece, her boyfriend walks the young woman home along a country path under a gorgeous, starry night sky. The couple argue civilly along the way, about both his cowardly denial to his parents of her Christian faith, and about the ‘other woman’ his parents favorably mentioned.

Thankfully, this conversation ends well, and even warmly, as they part, following his reassurance of his love delivered via a spontaneous and deeply romantic solo ballad at her doorway.
