voicing: SSATB | catalog number: SBMP 1691 | duration: c. 2'30" | price: $2.25

Breathe [level: Medium]
Coleman Peterson | Daniel Hughes Choral Series

RELEASED: June 2022

voicing: SATB | catalog number: SBMP 1674 | duration: c. 4’55” | price: $2.40
accompaniment: a cappella

This composition is the First Place Winner of our 2020-2021 Rachel Moore Composition Contest. “Breathe" is the product of humanity during a time of disconnection and isolation. The year 2020 brought with it skies of fear and uncertainty, and magnified the importance of personal connection, comfort, and togetherness. During this time, and the many times in our lives that have felt or will inevitably feel similarly, we came to understand just how crucial it was to keep meaningful, honest relationships alive. May this piece remind us all how to sit alongside those swallowed in their own clouds of worry, and breathe.
