Commissioned for the Combined Choirs of St. Joseph's School, Seattle, directed by Rick Boyle, who premiered the piece at Benaroya Hall's Nordstrom Recital Hall on May 6, 2004, in the second annual "New Works New Hope" concert for the benefit of Gilda's Club Seattle. The piece was revised in 2007 and the premiere of the revised score was given on November 16, 2007, by the Queens College Chorus, Cindy Bell conducting, at the Aaron Copland School of Music in New York. “Driven by a refreshing text of American naturalist John Muir, Bartholomew has created an accessible work that flows easily through both key and meter changes, and features expressive, lyric melodies contrasted by exciting rhythmic drive.“ - Cindy Bell  less

As this piece was meant to represent the early beginnings of human civilization and the birth of language, we have staged the piece in a somewhat tribal way and added jungle sound effects.

It was written by Abraham ("Abramek") Koplowicz, a Jewish Boy who was exterminated by the Nazis during the Holocaust. Abramek was born in 1930 in Lodz, Poland, and died 1944 in the infamous concentration camp at Auschwitz-Birkenau. He wrote this poem during the time that his family was trapped in the Lodz ghetto. This poem was not found until 1983 when Eliezer ("Lolek") Grynfeld, the poet's half-brother, discovered it among their late father's belongings. Choristers who sing this work will be transported on a magical flight around the world through time and space along with their audiences.  less

Le sujet principal de sa poésie est la Nature. Ce texte est un des plus connus. 春 眠 不 觉 晓 处 处 闻 啼 鸟 夜 来 风 雨 声 花 落 知 多 少 Chūn mián bù jué xiǎo, chùchù wén tíniǎo.

In the spring we sleep ignorant dawn Everywhere we hear the birds singing During the night comes the sound of wind and rain The flowers fall, who knows the number? Au printemps on dort ignorant l’aube Partout on entend les oiseaux chanter Durant la nuit vient Le bruit du vent et de la pluie Les fleurs tombent, qui en connait le nombre?  less
