... And the Dance Goes On*(U.S. Premiere) - H. Barrie Cabena
I. All life is dancing— rhythm and movement combined— ebbing and flowing as breath.
II. Even in aging—even when we must suffer—the dancing goes on.
III. With wild abandon we keep the dance in motion through all life's changes.
IV. There at the Threshold the Guardian awaits us— the dance continues.
V. Into the Cosmos, keeping step with the angels through eternity.
Moto Ostinato (from Sunday Music, 1958) - Petr Eben
*Barrie Cabena's ... And the Dance Goes On was featured on MPR's Pipedreams radio program, No. 0846.
