Composed by William P. Gorton. 20th Century,Contemporary,Spiritual. Full Performance. Duration 175. William P. Gorton #6118899. Published by William P. Gorton (A0.1071042).
"The Welcoming Earth" suggests that even death will be a state of peace and comfort, far from the strife of human conflict. This song was written in a time of emotional turmoil. Beautiful and haunting, it capitalizes especially on the bass colors of the piano, and gives assurance of an eventual respite from all our troubles.
Lyrics:
Go out, heartsick child, out from the angry halls of human strife, and place your hand on the rock. Close your eyes. Listen, and know that the earth is a bosom; that it is no dishonor to return to the dust, and that you will never be alone, nor troubled, therein.
--William Gorton
