SATB with piano
(audio from Jackman Music)
Commissioned in 2006 by the Women’s Glee Club at the University of Northern Colorado, Far Far Away on Judea’s Plains is now available for purchase from Jackman Music Corporation.

It is a great addition to your choral library that will stand the test of time. Order it directly from Jackman Music or through any major choral music retailer, like J. W. Pepper.
