| + | 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. | ||
