Arise, My Love ​composed by​ ​​JOAN SZYMKO

Are you wondering how this VIRTUAL PERFORMANCE FUNDRAISER was created? 
-   -   -
Each singer recorded her own voice while wearing headphones
to hear and watch a video of ANNA JULIAR playing, SALLY DEAN conducting,
and BECKY RAMIREZ and HIMA JOSHI singing the alto and soprano parts. 
Everyone then sent their individual video to recording engineer Daniel Rumley,
who put this final video together into a virtual performance which will hopefully
inspire all who listen to make a donation to GIRLS RISING!
(Please do so by using the DONATE button on the homepage of this website.)

The poetry set in ARISE, MY LOVE is a perfect fit for the mission of Girls Rising, 
and serendipitously, a balm for pandemic life.
-   -   -
Arise my love, come away.
The winter is passed, the rains are over and gone.
The flowers appear on the earth.
The time of our singing has come,
We’ll gather at the river, that beautiful river;
And there’s just one river of Love.
Arise!
