A rich and soulful affirmation of a Chinese proverb praising the five interdependent ideals of Light, Beauty, Harmony, Honor and Peace. These five ideals are given distinctive characters or "musical signatures," which are then deftly woven together into a well-blended whole.
Please note: Elizabeth Alexander's setting of this proverb is not the song performed by Sweet Honey in the Rock. That composition, which uses a slightly different translation, is by Sharon Durant, and goes by the title "Chinese Proverb". Please do not contact us about where you might obtain a copy of Sharon Durant's piece; we don't know.
