Product Description
"Border" is an artistic response to the immigration crisis around the globe (especially in the United States). The opening passage is: "Border, sanctuary, asylum, bridges not walls." The text draws from (and paraphrases) several sources: contemporary media, Emma Lazarus "The New Colossus," the Bibles Matthew 25:31-40, currency, and others. The changing meters of "Border" fill the work with an uptempo, rhythmic energy that propels it forward. "Border" is a call for justice, empathy and compassion, a summons to our collective conscience. It is appropriate for ensembles at the community, collegiate, and advanced high school levels.
