This is the New Jersey Youth Chorus, Advanced Chorus, performing "Wherever You Are" by Paul Mealor at the chorus' 2012 spring concert. Patricia Joyce, director. Phil Steffani, accompanist.
This piece was written specifically for the Military Wives Choir in England. Their director, Gareth Malone, suggested to the composer, "Why don't we use the letters they write to their husbands serving in Afghanistan?" So they sent their letters and poems, and the text of the piece was created from them. Part of the appeal of Wherever You Are is that it has enabled the wives, often the unsung heroines of military life as they struggle to keep families together while their husbands toil in hostile foreign fields, to express themselves.
