Description
My composition, an art song for Soprano and Piano, is set to poetry by my very talented peer, Mary Farah. Mary wrote the poem in Latin; I have displayed her English translation. The Soprano in this performance is Jenna Lyle, and the pianist is Adam Whiting.

Lyrics
Lyricist: Mary Farah
Luciferae [The Light-Bearers]
II. Caelum Vitere Iussit [He Bid Them Look at the Sky]
Shadows fall upon brown skin
And hands stained dark with drying blood.
Clutching wood and flint to our chests,
We lie down in the dust, but do not rest.
The windless night presses heavily
Upon hearts that claim no home,
But in the moonlight, our children's faces glow
With all the promise of the coming dawn
Luciferae [The Light-Bearers]
II. Caelum Vitere Iussit [He Bid Them Look at the Sky]
Shadows fall upon brown skin
And hands stained dark with drying blood.
Clutching wood and flint to our chests,
We lie down in the dust, but do not rest.
The windless night presses heavily
Upon hearts that claim no home,
But in the moonlight, our children's faces glow
With all the promise of the coming dawn
