About Tarik O'Regan's Triptych

This piece is especially meaningful in light of recent events in Boston, Cambridge and Watertown. The words for the second movement of this piece are derived from Rabbi Roland B Gittelson's "A Litany of Remembrance" which he delivered after Iwo Jima.

A Litany of Remembrance

Roland B. Gittelsohn

In the rising of the sun and in its going down,
we remember them.

In the blowing of the wind and in the chill of winter,
we remember them.

In the opening of buds and in the rebirth of spring,
we remember them.

In the blueness of the sky and in the warmth of summer,
we remember them.

In the rustling of leaves and in the beauty of autumn,
we remember them.

In the beginning of the year and when it ends,
we remember them.

When we are weary and in need of strength,
we remember them.

When we are lost and sick at heart,
we remember them.

When we have joys we yearn to share,
we remember them.

So long as we live, they too shall live,
for they are now a part of us, as we remember them.
