Epitaph was commissioned by Piedmont College, Demorest, Georgia. The occasion of this commission was precipitated by the Chamber Choir of Piedmont College, while on Spring Tour 2000 in Massachusetts, discovering this text on a gravestone. The motet was first performed by Piedmont College Chamber Choir, Dr. C. Wallace Hinson, Director, in April, 2001. -Robert Convery

The gravestone is in the Boston Granary Burying Ground (est. 1660) marked "Sacred to the Memory of Mrs Ann Barbara Bender who died Septr 12th 1794 Aged 48 years." In the event that this setting is used to memorialize a man, male gendered words have been added in italics below female gendered words.
