This powerful three-movement choral set explores the journey of self-discovery, struggle, and ultimate acceptance.

"Alone" captures the haunting realization of being different, as society demonizes what it doesn’t understand. "Hymn" delves into deep despair, questioning identity in the face of rejection and pain. Finally, "Evening Star" emerges as a triumphant declaration of self-love, embracing individuality with radiant pride.

Inspired by Edgar Allan Poe’s resilience against criticism, this evocative work reminds us that true beauty lies in our differences—and that those who challenge the norm are the ones who change the world.
