Version for soprano with piano
Duration 3:30

From SEMMELWEIS
Music: Ray Lustig
Libretto: Matthew Doherty

It’s never a choice
You see who you see
And soon you belong
To the one who trains himself on you

O how you glow
Something planted in your body
Where it grows
And pain goes everywhere it goes

It’s never a choice
You see who you see
And soon you belong
To the one who trains himself on you

Is your body a cathedral
Or candlelight
Passed hand to hand
Against the dark

It’s never a choice
You see who you see
So give birth in the cathedral
And quietly there
You are candlelight
A single star against the dark
That rolls down from the city wall.

Charlotte Mundy, soprano
Katelan Terrell, piano
