California State University, Fullerton University Singers - I Am The World by Lauren Biggs (2024 WACDA Preview Concert)
Robert Istad, conductor
Zachary Lindquist, Graduate Assistant Conductor
David Bergstedt, Accompanist
Performed at Clayes Performing Arts Center on March 3rd, 2024.
Program Note:
Lauren Biggs was selected as winner of the Western Region ACDA Emerging Composer Competition and commissioned for the 2024 WACDA Regional Conference “Many Voices, One Song." Her chosen text-Dora Sigerson Shorter’s “I Am The World”-uses imagery of space and nature to proclaim the interconnectedness of Creation. With distinct Celtic influences, haunting minor melodies, and war chant elements, Biggs’ setting of “I Am The World” showcases the struggle of humanity to become unified.
The Text:
“I Am The World” by Dora Sigerson Shorter
I shall arise, and like a shooting star
⁠Slip from my place;
So lingering see the old world from afar
⁠Revolve in space.
Of song and shine, of changing leaf apart,
⁠Of bud uncurled:
With all the senses pulsing at my heart,
⁠I am the world.
