The Awakening of Mother Earth
4 Bb Trumpets, 2 Bb Cornets, 2 Flugelhorns
“The Awakening of Mother Earth” is a celebration of everything that gives and nurtures life. Whether it in the indigenous cultures of the Americas or other belief systems, many cultures refer to the earth as our mother and the giver of life to all earthly creation. As the “giver of life to all earthly creation”, we must treat her with the utmost care and respect. Creation is not an easy process, often fraught with difficulty and sometimes pain. The music is dissonant at times with strong counterpoint, but ultimately triumphant. The ending is a quotation of the “Ave Maria” by Hildegard von Bingen (1098-1179), one of the earliest known female composers and a Catholic Sister Benedictine monastery of Disibodenberg. The first line of her chant to the Virgin Mary pays homage to Mother Mary as the “authoress of life”.
