Publisher Desc.  This piece for Treble/Tenor/Baritone/Bass chorus and piano was commissioned by Stephen O'Bent and the DigiPen Institute of Technology Dragon Chorus. In the text of Other Commencement, DigiPen 2021 graduate Ariel Kim reflects on the countless hardships that graduates endured during the Covid-19 pandemic. Alongside this sincere acknowledgement of struggles, though, is a hopeful message about recognizing their hard- won accomplishments; their strength will carry them into the next chapters of their lives. There are numerous solo opportunities, which can feature graduating seniors. Contact the composer to request arrangements for other voicings.
