2-Part
Composer: Mark Burrows
With it's solemn introduction, the singers are asked to say a hurtful word or phrase, building a cacophony of sound while the single phrase "we sill sing" is sung, slowly permeating the spoken words. From there, it moves to hope and encouragement with a memorable melody and emotional harmonic ending with strength in sound. "We will rise from the senseless pain and violence. Fear will fail and love will win. And a new song will echo in the silence. We will sing the world whole again." Powerful and emotional from start to finish.
