Why do some works demand we revisit them? 
The question is a larger one about how works become canonical – how they enter the culture and stay there. 
So, we offer a rare reprise of a work that, at its premiere, was already beloved by singers, and listeners. 

The question in David’s thoughtful, moving, inspiring work?
“How do we treat each other?”
