These texts speak to the promise of hope.
Choral music brings us hope. All of us. Singer, conductor, audience, and community. Choirs bring hope to the world. As you might expect, poems and musical settings about “hope” cover a broad spectrum. Some songs are prophetic and strong, others are happy and playful. Some are sorrowful, but promise a new day, a proverbial spring. The overarching theme is one of positivity.
Hope is a promise. Even in the darkest of times, there is a promise of love, wonder, patience, kindness, justice, and peace.
