If I Could Give
By letting your dreams be your light, you fill the crown of life with crystalline moments.
SATB Chorus with Divisi & Piano
Commissioned by Mark L. Stamper and INSPIRARE, “If I Could Give” gives advice on how to live a fulfilled life. One must dig through one’s dreams to find the most important and meaningful moments to keep and cherish. By holding on to those moments we create a crown of jewels symbolizing a well lived life full of meaning and purpose. This work features a cinematic piano accompaniment as well as a soaring cello line. The melodic lines are shared between all parts of the chorus while delivering a harmonious wave of sound that emulates the message of the text. This is a wonderful centerpiece of any program themed around life, death, and the meaning of living.
Text
If I could give one word of advice,
dig through the firmament of your dreams,
and find your diamonds.
Let death not shroud your sapphire sky.
Let life be your light.
Search the wild for crystal moments
until the crown of life is luminous with jewels…
full of celestial jewels.
