Love Arrives

This setting of Maya Angelou’s poem Touched by an Angel is a reminder that love is not a mere timid, fleeting feeling, but a courageous struggle which heightens our experience of both joy and pain. Love leads us from self-awareness to wholeness; love requires our complete sacrifice even as it offers us the ultimate gift in return. The vocal writing successfully tracks the varied emotions, now rhythmic, now gentle, and well supported by a well-crafted piano accompaniment. There are frequent excursions into three-part writing.
