Horton created the choral composition "Unfinished
Life" ( subtitled " Dreams, Friendships and Farewells " ) in memory of
his 1980 concert performance with the late singer-song writer Kate Wolf.
Kate's life was tragically cut short in 1986, as her career in folk
music was blossoming, nationally. One of Kate's songs is entitled
"Unfinished Life". Randall created the choral composition
exclusively from Kate's songs, in a quasi-biographic,
story-telling style.
Randall's great appreciation goes out to the California Redwood Chorale,
its Founder-Executive Director, Ms. Gerry Schultz; to its Music
Director, Mr. Robert Hazelrigg; especially to Ms. Gloria Strasburg, whose
years of dedication to this project helped to bring it together; and to
Kate's family: Hannah Wolf, Max Wolf, and Terry Fowler.
