Like Any Pilgrim, SSA a cappella
Zae Munn
About this work:
The text for Like Any Pilgrim was written by Peg Lauber, a Wisconsin poet. A series of text similes "("Like a hawk...Like an old shell...The moon is like smoke") presents images of openness, sensitivity, expectation, and celebration. The refrain "Like any pilgrim I travel light, shining my own lantern" is presented at first as a solo statement. By the end of the piece it has transformed into a joyous chorale, many pilgrims joined together on a journey to new lands. Amasong, directed by Margot Rejskind, commissioned Like Any Pilgrim in celebration of their 10th anniversary in 2000. Premiered by them in May 2000. Recorded by Amasong. College; Adult women.
