SATB a cappella chorus
Libby Larsen and Minnesota philosopher/poet Keith Gunderson have created three short parables told in humorous poems. Chameleon Wedding is a little contrapuntal piece which reinforces the message that "looks aren't everything". The Snail is one long phrase setting a story of patience. And Sparrows Everywhere uses long legato lines set against short staccato motives to tell a parable about persistence.
