Editor’s Choice & Basic Library, J.W. Pepper
NOTE FROM THE COMPOSER
Omnia Sol is a musical reflection on the constant passage of events and people who have been pillars along life’s way. “Omnia Sol” or “everywhere light” [sun] depicts this interaction and daily investing of ourselves in every soul we encounter. Though we mature and “move on,” part of us is ‘staid’ in the hearts and minds of those we chance to meet.
The text, from Carmina Burana, is macaronic (or the mixing of two or more languages) – in this case, English and Latin.
