    Program Notes
    And the Time Is is a poignant work for SATB choir and percussion ensemble featuring the beautiful words of Samuel Hazo, Sr.

    We have come to the point of decision,
    and the hands of the clock say BE CAREFUL.
    We’ve learned from the past that our choices
    are one or the other or neither
    and the hands of the clock say BE CAREFUL.

    We have readied ourselves for the challenge
    by weighing the odds and the chances
    of what will result from our choice
    and the hands of the clock say BE HOPEFUL.

    We’re not what we were when we started
    and the hands of the clock say IT’S OVER.
    Our yesterdays lengthen like shadows
    that fade when we no longer cast them
    and the hands of the clock say IT’S OVER.

    Despite what it brings to surprise us,
    we treasure each day in its passing
    though we know that we pass as it passes
    and the hands of the clock say DISCOVER.

    We sit on the porch ev’ry evening
    and the hands of the clock say BE WATCHFUL.
    We study the leaves in their turning
    from green to vermillion to purple
    and the hands of the clock say BE WATCHFUL.

    While we stare at the sky in its vastness
    and name ev’ry star in the distance,
    we dwindle in the balance
    and the hands of the clock say BE GRATEFUL.

    The dead come to life in our dreaming
    and the hands of the clock say REMEMBER.
    The words of a prophet keep haunting
    the ones who ignored him when living
    and the hands of the clock say REMEMBER.

    The world that we say is around us
    is neither before or behind us,
    but always within us
    and the hands of the clock say FOREVER!
