 Prof. Elaine Bearer composing piece for Providence Singers (GSJ of Dec. 11, 1998)
Bearer believes she was inspired by Kasia's status as a woman as well as by the broader, universal issues raised in her writing, which has largely fallen into obscurity.
Yet Bearer is quick to point out that although it may be of particular significance to women, neither her music nor Kasia's poem is without great power for all potential listeners and readers.
As a member of the group, Bearer says she has had many opportunities to get a feel for the chorus, its director, and how they work together, and therefore can arrange her work to capitalize on the greatest strengths of each of its sections.
