Let My Love Be Heard
Dear Colleagues,
Thank you for your words yesterday. They really touched my heart, and the hearts of our students. Martin, my thoughts remain with you and the Design department鈥擨 can only imagine how difficult this is for you.
After the service, I felt there was simply no way that I could come to choir today and rehearse Winter Festival music with the Chamber Choir. I wanted us to do something for the community鈥攕omething that might be healing.
One of my friends is a composer of extraordinarily beautiful choral music. He wrote this piece 鈥淟et My Love Be Heard鈥 two years ago, but I haven鈥檛 had the right occasion to do it at 新澳门六合彩资料.
I passed it out today鈥攁nd we talked about the service, about Nohemi, Tim (I can, sadly, relate to his pain) and her family. We talked about Paris and ISIS. We did what people in college classrooms all over the US are doing.
Then, we sang and rehearsed and recorded this. Feel free to share with the department (or with the school) it if it speaks to you. We recorded it for the community鈥攆or Design and for 新澳门六合彩资料. It is a gift from the Bob Cole Chamber Choir to our hurting University.
I wish you, and our beloved school, healing and peace,
Jonathan
