Artistic Director: Wallis Peterson, Accompanist: Gayle Giese. 1. Song of the Stars (Algonquin) We sing with our light. We are the birds of fire. We fly o'er the sky. Our light is a voice. We make a Road for the spirits to pass over. Among us are three Hunters who chase a bear. there never was a time when they were not hunting. We are the stars which sing. We sing with our light. We look down on the mountains. This is the song of stars. [the Hunters are three stars in the constellation Ursa Major (the Great Bear). they form the handle of the highly visible formation commonly called the Big Dipper. As the Earth travels around the Sun, the three Hunters appear to pursue the Great Bear a...    less

Artistic Director: Wallis Peterson, Accompanist: Gayle Giese, Oboist: Lisa Gelfand. She walks in beauty, like the night Of cloudless climes and starry skies; And all that's best of dark and bright Meet in her aspect and her eyes: Thus mellow'd to that tender light Which heaven to gaudy day denies. One shade the more, one ray the less, Had half impaired the nameless grace Which waves in every raven tress, Or softly lightens o'er her face; Where thoughts serenely sweet express How pure, how dear their dwelling-place. And on that cheek, and o'er that brow, So soft, so calm, yet eloquent, the smiles that win, the tints that glow, But tell of days in goodness spent, A mind at peace with all below, A heart whose love is innocent!  less
