SHINING THROUGH

“Shining Through” is a tribute to resilience and brilliance, to being a positive force in the world, and to finding a way to be the light in the darkness, wherever we find it. The work seeks to present a poignant melody in textures that represent longing for beauty. There are metallic references to light “shining through” while the main melody finds its way home through trials and episodes that represent a very determined, disciplined perseverance. Dedication to good and light and beauty is celebrated throughout, as we live to make sure the light is always “Shining Through.”
