About this piece: I completed my masters in 2025 and got to connect with many string educators. Because of this, I was inspired to write for strings. on summer is inspired by scenes of summer vacation. mist on the lake is slow and meditative while fireflies has a lot of energy. I love Ravel’s string quartets and Caroline Shaw’s string writing as well! It was fun to challenge myself and just create music without having to think about honor lyrics or poetry.
I am a singer and don’t have any string experience so if you see something wonky, let me know!

Text:
We are indeed children of Light. What an endless mart goes on in the Light. In the Light is our sleeping and waking, the play of our life and death.
Beneath one great canopy, in the ray of one great sun, slowly, very slowly, burn the unnumbered lamps of life.
In the midst of this unending Light I lose myself; amidst this intolerable radiance I wander like one blind.
We are indeed children of Light. Why then do we fear when we see the Light? Come, let us look all around and see, here no man hath cause for any fear.
In this boundless ocean of Light, if a tiny lamp goes out, let it go; who can say that it will not burn again?
-Kamini Roy
