About

Blue Light was written for my close friends Georgia Sands, Brina Crown, Jacob Kingsley, Anna Lowes-Cannizarro, and Zac Hakes. The piece title is inspired by Paul Laurence Dunbar’s, “A Starry Night” (1913).

A cloud fell down from the heavens, And broke on the mountain’s brow; It scattered the dusky fragments all over the vale below. The moon and stars were anxious to know what its fate might be; So they rushed to the azure op’ning, And all peered down to see.
