PROGRAM


The Ohio State Chorale


Awake, O Sun (premiere)
Jessica French    

Come, O Sun!
Awake and take the sky!
I call you to come out, come out!
Break to me your dawning.
Burn we with your music!
Enflame me with your song!
Remember, O Eden 
The brightness of the first day!
Invoke with me again 
Fair Adam and golden Queen:
    Awake, O Sun!
    And take the sky!

Text by Robert Bode


The Song We Sing (premiere)
John David Earnest    

Katherine Borst Jones, flute

The song we sing is meant to bring 
A moment of soft weather,
Where care and worry lift away 
And we can breathe together. 

We seldom find a quiet space 
(In public, almost never)
Yet here we sit and know we fit, 
And we belong together. 

For we are home (yes, everyone), 
The poet and the beggar,
The lover and the rebel, too,
Are welcome here, forever. 

So close your eyes and feel your hearts 
Begin to beat together,
And know that we, in harmony,
Will join the Song forever. 

Text by Robert Bode
