As Thoreau taught us, many people in the world know there is much to value in the natural world, including the nourishment it brings our spirit. \u201cBee-Song\u201d with text by Anne Baring is a beautiful hymn to this nuturing. The hive, the Earth, is our Mother, protecting and nourishing us.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Read about my project <a href=\"http:\/\/www.spindrift.com\/projects\/futureoflife\/futureoflife.php\">writing of The Future of Life.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Bee-Song<\/strong> is part of <a href=\"http:\/\/projectencore.org\/site\/explore.php?composer=Pamela+J+Marshall\">Project : Encore<\/a>, which promotes subsequent performances for choral music that has been premiered.
