COME DOWN FROM THE MOUNTAIN

SAB and SSA w/ opt. solo and body percussion

 
 

This original folksong taps into our need to connect with other and feel a sense of belonging with a community and the Earth. The lyrics evoke natural imagery while the simple syncopations give the melody a “down-home” feel. Choirs love singing the rhythms of this song’s chorus, and the coda offer the audience an unexpected harmonic twist.
