Kudos to Kathy and Kristopher for such wonderful musicality. This beautifully written piece, both for its minor coloration and exquisite movement in the orchestration, has created a story telling melody that is deep. I have rarely heard lyrics complimented so well by music. I feel like I already know the Two Immigrants and what their love has overcome. Bravo, Dr. Thomas!
