Awaken

by Adrian B. Sims | SATB Choir

Based on William Carlos Williams’ poem entitled “On the Road to the Contagious Hospital,” Awaken invokes themes of growth, progress, and prosperity. This work begins in the bleakest of shadows then blossoms into radiant declarations of peace and joy. 2020 has been an eventful year. Although we've lingered in the shadows, it’s my hope that similar to how this piece unfolds, we will awaken to greater solutions in order to solve the challenges and injustices within our society.

This work may be performed a cappella or with piano accompaniment.
