Here is a piece that unites references to knights in armour to modern masters of the Xbox. The musical style combines aspects of the chorale with the slow-burning gospel anthem, while the text looks at the difficulties of life in terms any age group can understand, leading to a proclamation of self-discovery that could not be achieved without those difficulties. This is a piece for a choir that is looking for something beyond the feel-good platitudes that infest the choral scene: a piece for choirs, regardless of age, who want their intelligence and private sorrows respected. For mixed choir a cappella.
