Proud to have been part of this context organized by El Systema Massachusetts in 2015.
Here is a copy of their answer to my submission:
Dear GI,
Thank you for your hard work and submission for the 2015 El Sistema Massachusetts Composition Contest. All of the compositions were outstanding and we were hard pressed to choose just one winner.
After a long deliberation and careful consideration for our goals for this project, we have selected the composition What We Will Be by Danielle Williams as the winner of the contest.
Because your composition was so well received, we would be very honored if you would consider allowing your piece to be performed by interested El Sistema programs both in Massachusetts and around the world. If you are interested in such performance and publicity opportunities, please respond, so we can share a few options with you. Once again, thank you for your hard work on writing this piece for us.
Best,
Diane Cline.
The Light Within
Open my heart and see the light within
Open my heart and see this light shining
It’s feeding my soul with love
Will you hold my hand
For I’m just a friend
Passing through this land
Before reaching the stars?
High in the sky
There in the heavens
I’ll be shining some day
From this light within
Open my heeart and see the light within
Open my heart and see this light shining
It’s feeding my soul with love
With love , with love
