Time | Jennifer Lucy Cook

Time Composer: Jennifer Lucy Cook Ensemble: Elevation Recorded at the Delaware Art Museum, April 2024 Conductor: Arreon A. Harley-Emerson Despite its artificial nature, time is a concept that we all adhere to in our daily lives. It holds significance only because of our collective societal agreement to acknowledge its existence and our need for it. Composer and lyricist Jennifer Cook cleverly composed this piece, depicting time's fleeting nature. The exact text is expressed three times throughout the song, each time the text is reiterated, there are fewer words than before (though structurally identical). Cook states, “As lyrics disappear, phrases take on new meaning, like how a 30th birthday differs from a fifth birthday, or how old memories can appear sharper than yesterday’s. We lose time when we try to keep it, we spend time as we try to save it.” 🎶 Comment below and share your thoughts! 🎶 Follow us on social media @elevatevocalarts on Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok Visit our website at elevatevocalarts.org Listen on your favorite streaming platforms: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/2ZpotN...
