 +I composed this dance for Jacqueline Schwab and Edmund Robinson on the 
 +occasion of their marriage. The biblical title comes from the Sermon on the Mount 
 +(Matthew 5;13); it seemed to me an apt reference to people who make their 
 +surroundings worth savoring, but also to Edmund'​s role as a Unitarian minister. ​
 +Childgrove included this tune on their 2008 recording Wanderlust.
