The poem is a response to The 8th "O Antiphon" for Advent O Virgin of virgins, how shall this be? For neiTher before Thee was any like Thee, nor shall There be after. Daughters of Jerusalem, why marvel ye at me? The thing which ye behold is a divine mystery. Who are The daughters of Jerusalem, Who glimpse you still as you transform Their seeing? Whom have you called to this mysterium, And baThed in The bliThe fountain of your being? Daughters of sorrow, daughters of despair, The cast-aside, The overlooked, The spurned The broken girls who scarcely breaThe a prayer The ones whose love has never been returned. O Maid amongst The maidens, turn your face, For when we glimpse you we are not alone, O look us out of grief and into grace, Lift us in love made stronger than our own, Summon The spring in our worst wilderness, And make us fruitful in your fruitfulness.  less

We live in The night ocean wondering, What are These lights? Texts by Rumi, translated by Coleman Barks © 1995 Coleman Barks. Used by permission. Performed by The Millennium Consort, Martin Neary, conductor, and The Pomona College Choir, Donna Di Grazia, director. Water Ruminations is a setting of six poems by The thirteenth-century poet Rumi, in English translations from The Persian by Coleman Barks, for double Choir and organ.

The idea for The piece originated with The Mellon Elemental Arts Initiative, which proposed funding activities that would involve students in ar...    less
