As a composer, I tend to lean toward and connect to slow and emotional pieces. I have always been someone who strives to convey emotional complexity, therefore writing an up-tempo piece had to be purposeful and meaningful. The inspiration for this score comes from the first time I was able to hear my son's heartbeat during an ultrasound. It was a magical and exciting moment that I will never forget; however, leading up to that specific moment there was an element of tension. Six months prior to hearing my son's heartbeat, my wife and I found ourselves in a very different situation with the outcome of an ultrasound. We arrived at the hospital excited to meet our child, only to discover we had silently miscarried. I had never felt so deflated and aimless in one sudden moment. It was as if I was a boat, drifting, with no direction in my life. Fast forward to this ultrasound with our soon-to-be son. You can imagine the excitement and fear we bo...    less

Psalms 39:24 The year started with bright Hope for a promising great year, yet the treat of a deadly virus lingered in our ears. In February, COVID caused some concern in America as people were being warned of the implications the virus could bring when it came from overseas. By March, our government told us we needed to stay home as the virus was deadly to all age groups and almost impossible to avoid. Most necessities, like toilet paper and cleaning products, were gone from the shelves of all stores making people worry how fighting this treat would be possible. Throughout the country, several people offered to help neighbors, friends, and family as they self-quarantined and socially distanced from each, as we were told it was our best defense against the upcoming pandemic. During quarantine, some people started riots for an unrelated cause, Black Lives Matter. This movement has an ongoing struggle in our nation as the group battles f...    less

The emotional lyrics are inspired by the biblical book of Job, the man who lost everything he had. We are providing a translation of the Latin lyrics below. In Lucem You will forget your sorrow. You will be happy, you will clothe yourself in light. Your sadness will be made a vague memory. We will shout and sing and reap in joy. We will laugh again, we will love again. Our sadness will be like a river Traveling across the earth, flowing into the ocean. You will forget your sorrow. You will be happy, you will clothe yourself in light.  less
