Opening with a jubilant fanfare in both piano and voices, the strong, singable melodies in this accessible original effectively deliver the important message of the text. A legato middle section provides a creative contrast to the rhythmic and fun syncopated choruses that frame it. A well-timed key change lifts the recapitulation and energetically propels the piece to its exuberant conclusion. A pronunciation guide and translation are provided for the Spanish text.

Lyrics:

Our aching hearts give birth to a harmony so strong,

And countless homes upon the earth are unified in song.

We’re an eager, global choir Formed from fondest yearning,

A product of deep desire,

The music in us burning, burning, burning.

Let us sing away the solitude,

together while apart;

Dispel the clouds of loneliness,

that mystify the heart.

Let us sing away the silence,

dance away frustration.

In our virtual togetherness-

this choir, our new creation, The sound of isolation.

The joy of happy company we miss so very much.

We reach out with our song, even though we cannot touch.

Far apart and yet together, we feel our spirits turning,

Ignited by our lonely fire,

The music in us burning, burn-ing, burn-ing.

Let us sing away the solitude,

together while apart;

Dispel the clouds of loneliness,

that mystify the heart.

Let us sing away the silence,

dance away frustration.

In our virtual togetherness-

this choir, our new creation,

Let us sing away the solitude,

together while apart;

Dispel the clouds of loneliness,

that mystify the heart.

Let us sing away the silence,

dance away frustration.

In our virtual togetherness-

this choir, our new creation, The sound of isolation.

This choir our new creation.
