Commissioned by the Palmerston North Choral Society to commemorate Women's Suffrage Year 1993. Scored for SATB choir with SATB soloists, flute and piano, the songs are ecstatic in nature with words from the Song of Solomon, Thomas Campion, Fiona McCloud, John Clare, and Alice Meynell. The work requires an average ability choir and very competent flute and piano players; it celebrates the human spirits' ability to praise, be joyful and live with love and mystery.
