This 3-minute movement from "So Many Corners" is a showpiece for a dynamic soprano. The simple words of Rose Auslander, who spent the Second World War in the Czernowitz ghetto, speak volumes about hope and restoration: "In the ocean waits an ark of stars, for the surviving ashes after the flood of fire." Elizabeth Alexander's musical setting of Auslander's stark and compelling words pours forth with delicacy, ferocity and compassion.
First Prize: National Federation of Music Clubs Devora Nadworney Award (So Many Corners).
