Look at the Stars

Written for a festival featuring the award-winning Bach Children's Choir of Toronto (directed by Linda Beaupre) and the Amabile Young Men's Choir of London, Ontario (directed by Carol Beynon), the opening verse of this evocative text from the Philippines marvels at the beauty of the universe: the stars, the deep blue ocean, and the green forest. The reflective middle section highlights the profound connection humans share with all living creatures. The joyful conclusion reminds us of the gift of freedom - a blessing that emanates from within each one of us, and made more powerful in unity with our brothers and sisters. Suitable for high school, collegiate, and community choirs.
