In it, Dromgoole tells the story of an old man who approaches a deep and wide water-filled chasm. He crosses in the evening as he is unafraid, then builds a bridge to span the tide. A fellow pilgrim questions why an old man would build the bridge, as he would surely never pass this way again in his lifetime.
The old man lifts his grey head and responds to the questioning traveler that a youth is to follow after him. He too, would need to cross in the twilight dim. The old man answers, “I am building this bridge for him.”
The commission process was an interesting and fascinating one in which to be involved. Dr. Dickau was originally approached a year or so ago by the Chorale, and was inter... less

We Rise Again is by Leon Dubinsky, who grew up in Sydney and now lives with his wife and children on a seaside property in Cape Breton's Englishtown.
Written in 1984 as a hopeful tune for the musical The Rise and Follies of Cape Breton Island during a severe economic downturn, it begins:
When the waves roll on over the waters
And the ocean cries
We look to our sons and daughters
To explain our lives
As if a child could tell us why
That as sure as the sunrise
As sure as the sea
As sure as the wind in the trees
We rise again in the faces of our children
We rise again in the waves out on the ocean
And we rise again....
The day he wrote "Rise Again," Dubinsky recalls, he was watching his ailing father observing his grandchildren playing in a swimming pool. Dubinsky's father had immigrated to Canada from the Ukraine, settling in Cape Breton; he would die a year later, in 1985.
The words just came to him,

Lyrics by Matthew Silver
Lyrics:
Enjoy, enjoy a little more.
Live in the moment. Don't get old.
Don't judge people.
Because you can't be free if you judge people.
To live and to live in a mystery
and to find purpose and to live in the now.
the magic is now!
Enjoy, enjoy a little more
Live in the moment. you can't get away from your heart.
because life is a paradox, It is a mirror of confusion
So love now! I Love all of you. less
