Ruth Morris Gray: Call Me Friend (SATB)

“I can live my life on earth contented to the end, if but a few shall . . . call me friend.” “Success,” by “people’s poet” Edgar Guest is paired with a few lines from Shakespeare’s “Sonnet 50” to create a warm, reflective text on the importance of friendship. Subtle tempo changes and sensitive dynamics encourage expressive singing, and an optional obbligato allows for a C-instrument of your choice.
