The Director assigned this piece to me a few minutes ago for this Sunday. "We Are the Light of the World" by Jean Anthony Greif. I will learn the harmonies and the descant. Yes, practice time is a precious resource! These lyrics are liturgical and they are ultimately about hope. We very much need that right now! The number of wars keep increasing. We must take a chance on peace
Let us be a light for our communities. So many people give up and become racists, misogynists, colonialists, or some other person that chooses to only trust the negative. There is no easier instrument to play than our fears. Let's choose to instead believe that there is good in others!
"Shine, / Shine before all, / See, see the good we do!" -lyrics based on the Beatitudes
