Every Child sheet music + mp3 (Copy)

This is a somber round in three parts, with optional descant parts you can add.

I wrote this after the shooting at Annunciation School here in Minneapolis in 2025. The words were inspired by this powerful, true James Baldwin quote:

“Every bombed village is my hometown.

And every dead child is my child.

Every grieving mother is my mother.

Every crying father is my father.

Every home turned to rubble

is the home I grew up in.

Every brother carrying the remains

of his brother across borders

is my brother.

Every sister waiting for a sister

who will never come home

is my sister.

Every one of these people are ours,

Just like we are theirs.

We belong to them

and they belong to us.”

— James Baldwin
