Cannon, perform "And the Wind," a choral setting by Greg Bartholomew of the poem by Fletcher LaVallee Bartholomew. For more information visit www.gregbartholomew.com And the Wind There is an awesome beauty found in sailing Through black of night upon the open sea, Your vessel mauled by unseen waves and trailing Her phosphorescent wake, as steadily, She plows into the darkness, And the wind.
