“The Same Sun Shine” will make us one in “Songs of the World 2011″

In 2007, Bob Chilcott wrote a beautiful song  for the Coastal Sound International Choral Festival.  The words of Robert Louis Stevenson were set to harmony, and the premiere was outstanding that year as the singing voices of Children and Youth reminded us:

“And at noonday, you and I

See the same sun shine……..

And makes all countries one…..

See the same sun shine above.

This same sun shines in Japan at this time of pain and chaos in 2011.  Our world has once again changed – and we are all one as we feel this change.

May the singing voices of Children and Youth continue to bring us together to reach out to each other as one.
