always care about birds

my first finished four-part shapenote tune, just in time to be submitted to the revision committee for the 2025 edition of the sacred harp. i didn’t really know what i was doing, and it was [rightfully/predictably/happily] not considered, but i’m still glad that it would become the first of many.

the tune was named after plymouth-trinity united church, the only church in this town whose folks had accepted to support and protect a local family facing deportation. it also became the church where we held our weekly singings.
