D Bend—Kyle Pederson. The text of this powerful
Lt choral work is addressed to anyone facing
struggles and it presents an honest affirmation
that those struggles are real. Rather than deny
the existence of problems or pain, the listener is
encouraged to "lean into" the hardship, to name
it-and to thereby reduce its power. Textually
and musically, the listener is presented with the
metaphor of a tree-being whipped by the wind
but built to bend in that wind, and ultimately
withstand the pressure-filled gales. The power
of community is also affirmed, as the listener is
encouraged to walk alongside and to bend along
with their neighbor.

l Blessing of Light—Meredith Tompkins.
Drawing primarily from the soundscape of a
gently sweeping Mixolydian mode, this piece is
designed to remind the listener of the distant past
and its connection to our present. With additional
options for soprano or alto divisi and comfortable
ranges, this original setting of the traditional
Scottish-Irish blessing is a wonderful way to close
any concert program.
