Based on an Inuit proverb, this reflective piece was originally composed for the Centennial High School Concert Choir from Circle Pines, Minnesota, in memory of the composer's mother, Coralynn, who passed away when he was five years old. A mood of contemplation is set by a leisurely text rhythm and lush chords. The proverb's counterpoint to the title is that stars are our lost loved ones shining light upon us. The music is timeless and touching.
