I wrote a song called We Rise. Since the task was to write for a choir of voices, I wanted to create something different from what I usually write. The concept of a circular song seemed fitting to the circular movements we all have been looping through these last 2 years.

I loved the idea of writing for multiple voices. I have never done that before. I love harmonies and patterns and rounds so this felt like a perfect opportunity to have some fun and stretch beyond my comfort zone and create something a little different and a little nonlinear.

Throughout my life I have always had hope. I have lost both parents. I have experienced true heartbreak and loss. I struggle with anxiety, like so many others, but I always land on hope. I want people to feel that hope in this song. To feel that spark of joy growing inside. It’s all we have. Joy and hope.

When I see kindness between humans. That is when I feel hope. It’s less in the big things and more in the small kindnesses that remind me that humans are innately good.
