More contemporary albeit classical vocal piece. Mystical, wondering mood. Nice harmonies.

Story behind the song
First "heard" the melody and worked it out as an instrumental in 1989. Added lyrics in 1991. This is a recording done from the workshop performance of AARON'S CROSSING by a very small cast in 2005.
Lyrics
I wonder what lies just beyond the stars...
Beyond Venus, Mercury and Mars..
Oh I wonder.
The mysteries within the Milky Way
Our history lies there some people say.
Oh I wonder.
There's so much out there we can't even see.
Oh I wonder.
So many stars, so many galaxies--
Different times, different minds, different lives.
Does anything exist beyond the stars?
Does life exist in universes far away?
