Renee Mitchell, spoken word Emmanuel Henreid, spoken word THE COMPOSER WRITES: There comes a time in every child’s life when they will have “the talk” with a trusted adult. That talk is usually centered around topics relating to sexual maturation – the birds and the bees. However, in the life of a black child, there’s an additional talk that needs to happen: what to do if they are pulled over or have an encounter with the police. It boils down to four basic principles with the fourth being the ultimate goal: 1. Pull over. Don’t run. Keep calm; 2. Keep your hands where they can see them; 3. Be polite. Save your rage; 4. Get home safely. (The phrase “save your rage” is credited to Resonance board member, Jasmine Love...    display='';$(this).getParent().style.display='none';">less

Translation (Romanian): Sun and stars, many tiny ones A game of light on the mountain peak, The snow has melted easily, It flows clearly towards the spring. The warm wind carried the spring, The doe once again leaps through the valleys. She drinks from the pure, crystal river That pours itself smoothly into the sea; Springtime is fully born, The sea is rising, waves with foam, Migratory birds are gathering, A siren sings sweetly to them, "la da lo ..."  display='';$(this).getParent().style.display='none';">less

Artistic director: Wallis Peterson, Harpist: Charlene Conner. When night's shadows fly New Year's dawn floods all the sky; And joyful voices sound, joyful voices sound. Branches of the fragrant pine Hang ev'rywhere around, ev'rywhere around Leaves so dainty fine Freshly gathered, dewy shine, And glitter in the light, glitter in the light. From Kadusa's lofty pinetree Waving, on the height, on the height.  display='';$(this).getParent().style.display='none';">less

Performed live at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, on May 6, 2012. Text: In winter I get up at night And dress by yellow candle-light. In summer quite the other way, I have to go to bed by day. I have to go to bed and see The birds still hopping on the tree, Or hear the grown-up people's feet Still going past me in the street. And does it not seem hard to you, When all the sky is clear and blue, And I should like so much to play, To have to go to bed by day?  display='';$(this).getParent().style.display='none';">less

Walking in a winter wonderland. Gone away is the bluebird, Here to stay is a new bird He sings a love song, As we go along, Walking in a winter wonderland. In the meadow we can build a snowman, Then pretend that he is Parson Brown He'll say: Are you married? We'll say: No man, But you can do the job When you're in town. Later on, we'll conspire, As we dream by the fire To face unafraid, The plans that we've made, Walking in a winter wonderland. In the meadow we can build a snowman, And pretend that he's a circus clown We'll have lots of fun ...    display='';$(this).getParent().style.display='none';">less
