The Great Trees are musical settings of poetry by Wendell Berry (b. 1934). The poetry and music focus on the beauty and spirituality of nature "trees, birds, still water" "one household, high and low." The Great Trees is an expression of ecstatic reverence for the spiritual presence in nature. This expression ranges from the peaceful reverence of the "grace of the world" to the celebratory reverence of "O light come down to earth, be praised!" -Gwyneth Walker
