Your Eyes

This piece was written to celebrate the life and legacy of Rebecca Tyree.

Rebecca Tyree, "Becky" to her friends, was an accomplished choral conductor, a dedicated and caring music educator, patient and knowledgeable mentor, and a life-long learner who experienced life with a passion and zeal which endeared her to all who met her.  Becky was a friend who would invite you over for dinner (she was a fabulous cook), offer you a place to stay, or lend you a listening and compassionate ear.  She had an infectious laugh, almost a giggle, and her eyes lit up when she smiled.  Though Becky took great pride in all of her professional accomplishments, her greatest joys were her son, Steve, his wife, Kalie, and their two daughters, Jade and Juniper.  Her passing left a huge hole in countless people's hearts, but the joy of memories will sustain those who knew her, and her students will continue to pass on her passion for music for decades to come.
