Wilberg, Mack - If clarions sound

for SATB, piano 4 hands and optional percussion (glockenspiel, vibraphone/suspended cymbal, bass drum) The third and final movement of Dances to Life. The vocal writing and keyboard accompaniment create a grand anthem extolling life and the contributions that our lives make to the world. An uplifting ending to a sometimes playful, otherwise serious work, the bells simulated in the percussion and keyboard celebrate the cycle of life from beginning to end.
