This beautiful setting of this Stuart Kestenbaum text is described on the Graphite website as
follows: “The story Boykin tells in “Holding the Light” is one of healing and finding metaphorical light in the global community. Her piano accompaniments urge the singers on, representing time and providing momentum.” The St. Olaf Choir sang this piece on their recent Spring and South Africa tours – an excellent honor choir or festival piece; suitable for a variety of concert themes – music to uplift and inspire singers and audiences alike.
