Work Overview
This evocative piece was written as a gift for Woden Valley Youth Choir (scored for SA with a stunning, reflective piano accompaniment). It has since been re-arranged for a capella SATB, for Luminescence Chamber Choir.
The lyrics are about overcoming adversity or difficult times: to comfort and inspire when feeling lost or caught up in life's events.
"If the moon goes out I will light a star, and brighten up your heart. If you're feeling down, I will raise you up and hold you close awhile."
"Through silver waves on an emerald sea, and fields of glistening sand, if your hope is lost I will find a way - I'll take us home one day."
