Brandon Ulrich, Conductor. --- Haitian Creole text: Woy! Alon doulè rèd'o! Alon doulè rèd'o! Mezanmi, woy! Twazièm son fenk sonnen nan Legliz Katedral; Solèy kouche lontan dèyè Mòn Lopital... Lanati dechennen met tout moun anba kòd. Gro kolòn, ti poto tounen pousiè ak sann. Jezi, Mari, Josèf... Gras' a Mizerikòd... Lanati dechennen met tout moun anba kòd. Nou wè, nou pa konprann, Sa rive sanzantann. Latè tranble! Latè tranble pi rèd pase fèy nan savann. Anmwe! Anmwe! Sekou souple! Nan pwen bouch pou pale... Dies irae, dies illa; Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine. Ayiti! Ayiti! Alon doulè rèd'o, Mare senti'w sere. Ayiti! Ayiti! Ou se yon fanm vanyan, Kenbe la, pa lage...

Guillaume --Nou Se Limyè-- (We Are The Light) Children of light, do not stay in the dark; Truth and Love are stronger than the law.

Full text: "Show me eyes like scars to soothe and seethe the thoughts thrice far and smoothly breathe calm vision light - ajar and free, this vision gift that's deep as dust, and hard as feather leaves; sweet nectar light of lust and color brilliance; this stroke of sight's delivery."​​ ​ Program notes: As I was searching for text for a New composition in 2019, I stumbled upon a long-time friend’s poetry book and devoured it. Emanual Wolff’s MooNlight HoWling spoke to me in its dark corners, surrealist takes on reality and visceral accounts of battles with mental illness and the struggle of existence therein. forgiveness especially so; the first stanza of which painted an image of loss, of regret, and of reconciliation.
