A clear-eyed look at the world's challenges, with a contemplative call to action
Commissioned by First Unitarian Universalist Church of Houston
Poet/Lyricist: Elizabeth Alexander
Moving forward with the patient, deliberate steps of visionary souls past and present, this introspective song surveys the challenges of the world with clear-eyed compassion and resolve. By turns both heart-lifting and heart-rending, it concludes with a call to action for all people of conscience.
The second movement of Kindling: Small Reflections on a Limitless Faith, Pages may be performed as a stand-alone piece.
