Light

Leaping from leaf to leaf, shattering into gold, and scattering gems, light is at the center of our lives. It kisses our eyes, it sweetens our hearts, and it fills the world. This music explores the energy, softness, joy, and gratitude of the poem Light by Bengali poet and philosopher Rabindranath Tagore.
