for SSA choir, cello and piano

This reflective movement opens with two pages for cello and piano. It is a time for contemplation, ideal for dancers or projected imagery. The treble voices gently duet, then divide into a trio, “growing in broken spaces,” as the text proclaims. Gentle percussion at the conclusion provides a final pulse of energy.

Text

And what was meant for bad
We’ll mold in our own hands
To soothe what was scattered
And gather what was bruised
Soul flowers from flesh – rise
to suns our Mothers made shine
when we were only star seeds, smaller than sand
flickering embers in night’s dark expanse

– Brittny Ray Crowell
