Blessed Be (Szymko)
“Blessed Be” dares to invoke the sacred while proclaiming a woman’s innate right to manifest her own path.
SSAA, a cappella, or optional piano accompaniment
A setting of an iconic text by Robin Morgan, considered one of the founders of contemporary feminism, and author of over twenty books, including the now-classic feminist anthology, “Sisterhood is Powerful.” “Blessed Be” dares to invoke the sacred while proclaiming a woman’s innate right to manifest her own path. The words “blessed be” are sung three times as a refrain to each line of the empowering litany. The triad, or “3-ness”, has a universal significance as a symbol of the unity of spirit, mind and body, all of which are celebrated in the text.
Text
Blessed be my brain that I may conceive of my own power. Blessed be my breast that I may give sustenance to those I love. Blessed be my womb that I may choose to create what I choose to create. Blessed be my knees that I may bend so as not to break Blessed be my feet that I may walk the path of my highest will.
– Robin Morgan
