Hope by Kenneth Langer — Lyrics
Hope begins in dreams, it grows through imagination. and blossoms through courage. Disappointment is finite, but hope is eternal.
About Hope
This bright, optimistic canon for SATB choir explores the enduring power of hope. The text suggests that hope is not a passive wish but an active force, born from our dreams and imagination, and nurtured by courage. It contrasts the transient nature of disappointment with the everlasting quality of hope, making it a suitable anthem for moments of collective aspiration or affirmation. Its canonic structure offers both accessibility for choirs and an engaging, cumulative musical texture that reflects the growing strength of the text's message. Ideal for a general concert programme, this piece encourages reflection on inner resilience and optimism.
