A visionary new work from one of America's most celebrated composers, Creation is an oratorio in three parts for treble choir and wind ensemble with video projections which reimagine the story of existence through a feminine lens. The libretto is woven from the words of eight women poets, exploring themes of the universe’s birth, the formation of life on Earth, motherhood, and the power of community. Among these texts are two newly commissioned poems by Gretchen Ernster Henderson, including “Another Word for Love is Light.” The piece is dedicated to Cecilia Payne, the pioneering scientist who discovered the composition of the universe, embodying the work’s themes of knowledge, wonder, and humanity. In a groundbreaking artistic collaboration, every creative force behind Creation—from composer to poets, filmmakers, dancers, and animators—are women. The result is a powerful statement on the creative force of womanhood, inspired by Emily Dickinson’s words: “To be a Flower, is profound responsibility.”
