Common Ground - Presentation Kit

From Plank Road Publishing

The hope of this gentle song of peace is that, despite our differences, we can somehow relate, empathize, even have compassion for each other, starting with the premise that there are many things in this world we have in common, many things we share. If only we could stop to recognize our common ground, maybe we could begin a dialog that at least points us in the direction of peace.

The song is in three parts, but parts 2 and 3 are optional. Part 3 does give your lower, changing, or changed voices a chance to shine. If you prefer to use the song as a unison piece, it will absolutely work. The kit includes a demonstration of this unison version, as well as rehearsal tracks for parts 2 and 3.
