Two Streams (2021) is a cantata in 14 movements for choir and string orchestra that incorporate elements of Chant, Renaissance, Baroque, Romantic, and contemporary styles. The texts are a combination of excerpts from the Diary of St. Faustina, Scriptures (in Latin), and liturgical texts (in Greek and Latin). Maria Faustina Kowalska (Poland, 1905-1938) felt called to write down words in her diary that she heard and experienced in prayer. The message she relayed was that the world would not know peace without turning to mercy. She passed away just months before the outbreak of World War II, when it became clear that this world would not turn to mercy.

In 1970, I was a nineteen-year old sophomore from Atlanta, Georgia, at the University of Georgia (UGA). I majored in Broadcast Journalism. Now Attorney Dwight Thomas was President of the Black Student Union (BSU) that year, and he appointed me as the Mistress of Cultural Affairs. I went back to my dorm room on the eighth floor of Creswell Hall and typed out the “God’s vision” for five groups that God gave me.
