The upcoming months may be a test of our resilience and strength and community spirit. And we can dig deep and find what we know we have within us. Along the theme of resilience, this week we have music from Arise and Go, Lissa Schneckenburger, Haley Hewitt, and Ethan Tischler with the Gawler Sisters. Ben Williams reads a poem by Sara Teasdale, and Julie reads an excerpt from a community poem and a poem by Alfred Lord Tennyson, with musical accompaniment by Eleanor Lincoln. Take care, everyone.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Episode Notes<\/strong><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>1. Jean-Paul Jigs: Le Tourment \/ Korolenko &#8211; Arise &amp; Go (Newfield, NY). These tunes are both by Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois musician and composer Jean-Paul Loyer and are from Arise &amp; Go\u2019s recent album <i>Meeting Place<\/i>. <a href=\"https:\/\/ariseandgo.bandcamp.com\/\">https:\/\/ariseandgo.bandcamp.com<\/a> \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>2. <i>Like barley bending<\/i>, by Sara Teasdale. Read by Ben Williams (Northampton, MA). Ben writes, \u201cLike much of Sara Teasdale&#8217;s poetry, I feel I can see the images she is describing, and I hope we all, like barley bending, are able to rise again from our pain and turn our sorrow into song.\u201d \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>3. Aoife\u2019s \/ Coleman\u2019s March &#8211; Lissa Schneckenburger (Brattleboro, VT). This track is from Lissa\u2019s 2005 self-titled album. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lissafiddle.com\/\">www.lissafiddle.com<\/a> \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>4. Excerpts from <i>If the trees can keep dancing, so can I<\/i>, a community poem compiled by Kwame Alexander. Read by Julie Vallimont (Brattleboro, VT). Kwame Alexander, NPR\u2019s poet-in-residence, created this poem from crowdsourced submissions. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>5. Longmeadow &#8211; Haley Hewitt (East Hartford, CT). Haley notes, \u201cI wrote this piece at a time when I was living in Glasgow, UK and missing the trees of my hometown Longmeadow, MA in the United States. In writing this I wanted to capture the feeling of being surrounded by the tall trees which dominate the landscape, casting shadows and only letting shafts of sunlight through their leaves.\u201d Recorded at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, with Haley Hewitt (harp), Joe Armstrong (flute), and Marissa Helen Waite (bodhran). \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>6. <i>Nothing will die<\/i>, by Alfred Lord Tennyson. Read by Julie Vallimont (Brattleboro, VT), with musical accompaniment by Eleanor Lincoln (Northampton, MA). \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>7. All Will Be Well &#8211; Ethan Tischler (Lincolnville, ME). This studio single by Ethan Stokes and the Gawler Sisters was recorded this spring. Ethan notes, \u201cIts lyrics trace their way back to the 14th century anchoress, mystic, and theologian Julian of Norwich, whose <i>Revelations of Divine Love<\/i> is the first known published (and still celebrated) work by a female author. The book, and the song, speak to the love and peace that persist and guide in even our most challenging times, as a people, a nation, an interwoven global community.\u201d <a href=\"http:\/\/ethanstokestischler.bandcamp.com\/\">http:\/\/ethanstokestischler.bandcamp.com<\/a> \u00a0<\/p>\n<p><i>The opening music is \u201cThe Pearl in Sorrow\u2019s Hand\u201d by Julie Vallimont, from her album Dark Sky, Bright Stars.
