This song was created through conversations with students who shared the
impact of isolation and adversity and the realization that we need each other
to make it through our challenges. The
song begins with a somber tone acknowledging the pain of loneliness and
builds to a more hopeful theme driven by the piano accompaniment as we
recognize that "together we make it through." The bridge celebrates activities that bring
joy and assist with processing trauma and healing and the ending includes a
contemplative contrapuntal section before coming together in the end.
Commissioned for the Valley Region Choral Project 2020-2021 made up of Federal
Way, Puyallup, and Sumner Bonney Lake School Districts of the Washington
Music Educators Association, students in the Teen Sings program shared
stories about their pandemic experience and helped contribute lyrical ideas
which shaped this piece. The premiere
was a virtual choir recording with almost 200 submissions.
