Dramatic and colorful, with a stunning piano accompaniment and accessible ranges. This is an ideal piece for concerts, contests, and festivals.

Gravitas (Gravity)

The heavy burden of life forces weight on the soul,
and the gravity of darkness moves in slowly.
The unknown world of tomorrow makes it hard to cope,
hard to dream, hard to be.
If time is a friend to no one, then now is the only time to live --
to truly live -- and to love.
Shine your light into the darkness and reveal the depths of hope.
Then gravity will force weight on your soul no more.

Jacob Narverud
