Qasida of Breath
SSAA div. a cappella
Challenging
The Qasida is an ancient Araibic form of poetry, similar to an ode. Palestinian-American poet, Deema Shehabi was born in Kuwait in 1970. Her mother was from Gaza and her father from Jerusalem. The text of Qasida of Breath evokes her memories of a beautiful land contrasted with the current reality of a world broken by war.

Dans les ombres de la nuit
SSAA a cappella
Challenging
Text: Ancient French Noel
Translation:
In the shadows of the night and without noise,
All brilliant Jesus shines
Born only by the desire to give us back life.
He comes down from the firmament with joy
Living here below poorly
It is to deliver human nature from
eternal sentences.
Angels come down from heaven to these places,
For the child so precious. Sing out the news
Who has not, and will not have, his equal.

Fire-Flowers
SSAA div. with piano
Moderately Challenging
Dedicated to the victims of the Northern and Southern California wildfires, October-December 2017
In California there exist several remarkable species of flowers which only germinate after a wildfire. Their seeds can remain dormant for over a century. Then, triggered by intense heat and smoke, the seeds come back to life. Soon the scorched chaparral is covered with crimson, lavender, yellow, orange and blue wildflowers. Fire-Flowers is a song about hope and healing.
