YOU ARE A STAR!-STELLA ES!

Composer: Monica Nasti
Words from composer

The text of “YOU ARE A STAR – STELLA ES” speaks of resilience against bullying: it invites you not to believe those who hurt you, and to recognize your own worth as a ‘heavenly gift’ worthy of love. It alternates Latin and English, celebrating solidarity, inner light, and the healing power of music. Musically, it is written for a cappella SATB: gentle lines, light counterpoints, intimate dynamics that culminate in a luminous finale where the gradual layering of voices, with staggered entries and asymmetric accents, creates a shimmering effect, evoking the brilliance of stars and symbolically reinforcing the message of the text “LIVE AND SHINE! YOU ARE A STAR!”.
