《讓愛得到傾聽》原是為美國西雅圖西北合唱團及其藝術總監而作的合唱作品。2015年，一名加州州立大學（長灘分校）的學生喪生於巴黎恐襲事件，校方為她舉辦悼念晚會，音樂學院合唱團在晚會中獻詩。晚會後的首個練習，合唱團為這位學生錄製此曲，除了悼念無辜犧牲的人，也為渴求世界和平的人們發聲。他們的歌聲雖然帶有濃重的哀思，卻也為沉痛的心、悔暗的世界點亮了希望之光。
Originally written for Choral Arts Northwest, this work has taken on a new life in light of the atrocities in Paris and Beirut. Jonathan Talberg, the conductor of the choir at California State University at Long Beach, led his singers in a performance during the memorial vigil for Nohemi Gonzalez, a Long Beach student who was killed in the Paris attacks. The choir recorded the song in the first rehearsal after the vigil in memory of Nohemi and as a plea for peace. Their musical offering is a powerful outpouring of grief but also a glimmer of light, and provides hope in the darkness of our world.
Text:
Angels, where you soar
Up to God’s own light,
Take my own lost bird
On your hearts tonight;
And as grief once more
Mounts to heaven and sings,
Let my love be heard
Whispering in your wings
