"Let It Be Done" for Soprano + Piano

Programme Note:

​

It is impossible to imagine the anguish that Mary, The Mother felt while attending her son’s crucifixion.

 

As a young composer-lyricist at the age of sixteen, this is my first attempt to understand her acceptance of life’s pain—re-contextualizing heartbreak as the catalyst for spiritual growth.
