Written for the Choir of the Church of the Advent in Boston, Massachusetts (Dr. Edith Ho, director), this piece was composed for the wedding of John Sterling Lambert and Susan Tighlman Bisson at the Advent on October 12, 2002. The bride and groom are both singers who have worked closely with the composer, and the composer and choir offered this short work, drawing on various wedding and musical texts, as a gift to the couple during the wedding liturgy.
