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
