Recorded live on Thursday, July 3, 2014, at Christ Lutheran Church in Oakland Park, Florida. Performed by the Concert Choir ensemble of the Girl Choir of South Florida. Artistic Director: Wallis Peterson, Accompanist: Gayle Giese. Note from the composer: "Still I Rise" was inspired by the poem of the same name by poet laureate Maya Angelou. It is a women's anthem, saluting the strength to persevere through life's difficulties–low self-esteem, physical and emotional abuse, prejudice, abandonment, and the like. In summary, though a woman's life or past may be filled with tears and heartaches, with each day that she finds herself still living, she finds that she has grown stronger and risen a little higher because her circumstances have not overcome her. Thus, every new day can be one of hope and joy because regardless of the past, today, "still I rise"! Though I have been wounded, aching heart full of pain. Still I rise, yes, still I rise. Jus' like a budding rose, my...    less

Set for SATB Choir. It is a meditation on the meaning of transubstantiation. Hoc est enim corpus meum Die Ewigkeit der Welt liegt hier in meiner Hand Die schweren Schmerzen, Erlösung und Liebe sind ein Seufzer in meiner Hand Christus mein! Herr der Ewigkeit in meiner Hand tröstlich und klein in meiner Hand Weiss und vertrauensvoll hier in meiner Hand Bescheidenheit der Liebe leigt zärtlich hier. In meiner Hand liegt Gott [English original] Hoc est enim corpus meum The world's eternity lies here within my hand. The weight of pain, of love, redemption is a sigh upon my hand, My Christ, Lord of the infinite, small to my comfort in my hand. Humility of Love that tender here lies low. White, trusting, full of care within my hand. So, in my hand lies God. Hoc est enim corpus meum.  less

Mary Kay Geston, conductor. Lalla, a 14th century Sufi-mystic poet from the Kashmir region of India, believed strongly in the development of the self while reaching enlightenment. The metaphor of dancing while feeling free or naked exemplifies the beauty of empowerment and self-worth. This work uses influences of Classical Indian music and other vocal effects to allow Lalla’s message to come to life.
