In George Ella Lyon's poem, "Growing Light," an isolated poet reaches out to an imagined reader, offering encouragement and solidarity. Elizabeth Alexander's expressive musical setting reflects this sense of solitude and strength, featuring prominent vocal and instrumental solos. A moving musical testimony to art's ability to speak the truth, transcending the limitations of time and space.
