voicing: SATB/sop solos | catalog number: SBMP 996 | duration: 4:20 | price: $2.05

Based on the American 18th century folk hymn Meditation, the text uses the metaphor of harvest for death and the second coming. A picturesque, dramatic piece, it opens with a lone soprano singing the folk-style melody, and builds to layers of singers proclaiming the message.
