Note from Composer
‘You Rise, I Fall’ is taken from The Sacred Veil: a 12-movement work that premiered with the Los Angeles Master Chorale in February 2019 and features on Eric’s album ‘Home’ with VOCES8 released in April 2023.
‘You Rise, I Fall’ was commissioned by the Los Angeles Master Chorale, Grant Gershon, Artistic Director and NTR ZaterdagMatinee for the Netherlands Radio Choir.
The Text
Listening to your labored breath,
Your struggle ends as mine begins.
You rise; I fall.
Fading, yet already gone;
What calls you I cannot provide.
You rise; I fall.
Broken, with a heavy hand
I reach to you, and close your eyes.
You rise; I fall.
– Charles Anthony Silvestri
