lyrics

There is a balm in Gilead To make the wounded whole; There is a balm in Gilead To heal the sinsick soul. 1. Sometimes I feel discouraged And think my work's in vain, But then the Holy Spirt Revives my soul again. (Text from Negro Spirituals by Harry T. Burleigh, 1917) Internal dialogue emerged in composing this piece. I tried juxtaposing clashing rhythms and intervals with soothing and healing harmonies. Eventually I heard common ground emerge. The resulting sounds could represent the swirling of the Spirit, or the power and discord of true healing that requires stepping far beyond our comfort zone. A balm is an oil, in this case used for healing, both physical and spiritual.
