Teresa Schreiber Werth’s small poem, “Full Circle,” was written during a friend’s final days, ushering her into the next world with acceptance, vibrancy and love. This musical setting of Werth’s poem pulses with rhythm and breath, with canonic vocal lines suggesting the cycle of life. Taking its inspiration from the light described by those who have had near-death experiences, You were meant for this: concludes not on a somber note but instead with a bright outpouring of glorious, inevitable light.
