"The opening line of William Blake's poem The Divine Image is quite striking:'To Mercy, Pity, Peace and Love / All pray in their distress...' In many ways, this line describes the challenging times in which we live, while the final two lines suggest hope for the future: 'Where Mercy, Love and Pity dwell / There God is dwelling too.' Even during the most troubling times, the divine qualities of mercy, love and pity are alive within humanity, suggesting a transformation from darkness to light. I composed this work to celebrate the joyful spirit and music-making of the Pacific Youth Choir, as inspired by its director, Mia Hall Savage." - Robert Kyr.
