A Thousand Stars is a description of the stars and universe. The underlying message is that each individual person is unique and we can achieve great things. We are like stars in ourselves that are part of a greater constellation.
This piece was commissioned for the Pemulwuy Festival 2014 by Brisbane Boys Grammar, and is available for Unison, SA or SSA and Piano. It is suitable for Graduation ceremonies, Assemblies, Parades, Eisteddfods and Choral Festivals, and works well as a massed choir piece.
A thousand stars in the night sky shining, a thousand years seem like a day.
And like the stars that form a Constellation,
We are united as one!
When we believe we are one,
Then we will shine like the sun, when we believe.
And when we all believe, we’ll shine,
Just like a thousand stars in the sky, when we believe.
A thousand moons lighting up the sky way,
A shooting star, a burst of light,
And like the stars that form a constellation, we are united as one.
Then we will be a thousand stars…” Sherelle Eyles
