Program Notes

I am a Voice that Sings..........Words by Ronald W. Cadmus, Music by Michael Bussewitz-Quarm
          In the dark of night
            In shades of feat     
            I'll reach within           
            Deep in my soul
            To find the promised light
            A dream to keep in sight
            I am a voice that sings!

            When all hope seems gone
            On your path unknown
            Feeling alone
            I'll keep right on
            And blend my voice with yours
            To lift and reassure
            I am a voice that sings!

            I'm resolved to love
            To be a force for change
            My hand will hold
            Your tender wounds
            Together we will find
            Something of grace and peace
            I am a voice that sings!

            When the flowers fade
            When the stars grow dim
            When the smile leaves
            And tears appear
            From deep within the heart
            The song of life draws near
            I am a voice that sings!
            I am a voice that sings!
            Together we will sing!

'Hope' is the thing with feathers..........Text by Emily Dickinson (1830-86) , Music by Sarah Quartel
          Hope is the thing with feathers
            That perches in the soul,
            And sings the tune without the words,
            And never stops at all,
            And sweetest in the gale is heard;
            And sore must be the storm
            That could abash the little bird
            That kept so many warm.
            I've heard it in the chillest land,
            And on the strangest sea;
            Yet, never, in extremity,
            It asked a crumb of me.

Call Me Friend..........Words by Edgar Guest (1881-1959) and William Shakespeare (1564-1616), Music by Ruth Morris Gray

A Light Inside..........Jim Papoulis
            From the project "Sounds of a Better World = small voices calling"

Inscription of Hope..........Words by Z. Randall Stroope and from an inscription on cellar walls in Cologne, Germany, Music by Z. Randall Stroope (quoting a Russian Folk Tune)
            I believe in the sun even whit it is not shining, 
            And I believe in love even when there's no one there.
            And I believe in God even when he is silent,
            I believe through any teial there is always a way.

            But sometimes in this suff'ring and hopeless despair,
            My heart cries for shelter, to know someone's there.
            But a voice rises within me saying hold on my child,
            I'll give you strength, I'll give you hope, 
            Just stay a little while.

            I believe in the sun even when it is not shining,
            And I believe in love even when there's no one there.
            But I believe in God even when he is silent,
            I believe through any trial there is always a way.

            May there someday be sunshine, 
            May there someday be happiness,
            May there someday be love,
            May there someday be peace.

You've Got a Friend..........Words and Music by Carole King, Arranged by Mac Huff

Why We Sing..........Greg Gilpin
