“Singing [We Bloomed In Spring] was a beautiful Stare at the Sun memory, as the piece infuses its singers with joy. With the rise and fall of the melody and sweeping harmonies, the composition encapsulates the essence of renewal and rebirth that spring symbolizes. Hill’s use of vocal textures and dynamic contrasts within the piece creates a sense of growth and blossoming, mirroring the awakening of nature after the long winter. We Bloomed in Spring stands as a testament to Hill’s skillful craftsmanship. Edie weaves the lines of St. Teresa of Avila’s text like a lyrical dance, as if the listener is a dragonfly twisting across the sky, marveling at the ground beneath.”
