The Time Is Near/I Will March

This lively medley of two Zambian songs was inspired by the musical exchange experienced by Jeff Wood during his mission work in the Sinazongwe region. Its arrangement for a cappella SATB choir, optional solo, and optional percussion tactfully pays homage to the energy and beauty of African music. With a moderate difficultly level and featuring themes of eternal life, heaven, praise and second coming, this piece will add musical variety to any liturgy and is a wonderful example of the worldwide appeal of Christ's message of salvation.
