TEXT

FLOWER INTO KINDNESS

The soul is made of love and must ever return to love. There is nothing so wise, nor so beautiful, nor so strong as love. (Mechthild von Magdeburg)

Above all, love.

I shed my words on the earth as the tree sheds its leaves. Let my thoughts unspoken f lower into kindness. (Rabindranath Tagore)

PERFORMANCE TIME c. 5:30

ABOUT THE WORK

This work is a movement from “Into the Light,” an extended work for chorus and orchestra, originally commissioned by Valparaiso Universit y in commemoration of the 500th anniversary of the Reformation. Christopher M. Cock, conductor, Valparaiso Universit y Chorale, and director of the Bach Institute. Funded through the Hoermann-Koch Sacred Music Endowment at Valparaiso Universit y. This new arrangement was created for Craig Hella Johnson and Conspirare, featured on their all-Runestad album “The Hope of Loving.”

ABOUT THE COMPOSER

Considered “one of the best of the younger American composers” (Chicago Tribune), award-winning composer and conductor Jake Runestad has received commissions and performances from leading ensembles such as VOCES8, the Philippine Madrigal Singers, Washington National Opera, the Netherlands Radio Choir, Seraphic Fire, the Swedish Radio Symphony, the Dallas Symphony Chorus, the Pacific Chorale, the Santa Fe Desert Chorale, and an all-Runestad album from Grammy-winning Craig Hella Johnson and Conspirare. Jake’s visceral music and charismatic personalit y have fostered a busy schedule of commissions, residencies, workshops, and conducting engagements, enabling him to share his passion for creativit y, expressivit y, and communit y with musicians around the world. He is one of the youngest composers ever awarded ACDA's prestigious Raymond W. Brock commission.

Dubbed a “choral rockstar” by American Public Media, Jake is one of the most frequently performed composers in the world and has traveled to work with ensembles on all but one continent. Jake Runestad holds a Master’s degree in composition from the Peabody Conservatory of the Johns Hopkins Universit y where he studied with Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Kevin Puts.
