a jewel in the night, earth was beautiful through the
eyes of the moon."

We Will Sing the World Whole AgainMark
Burrows. This song begins by having choir members
state something hurtful that has been said to them
in an overlapping texture that shows that we have
all been affected by pain and violence, and yet
we choose to sing. From its opening section of
cacophony to the powerful refrain, this original song
will inspire your singers and your audience to rise
above their hurt and the violence in our world. "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."

amaze audiences and adjudicators with this highly
recommended piece.
