Program NoteWritten in the spring of 2004, Like a Diamond is a choral setting of the text of the familiar children's song "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. A blend of open, restful chords and highly dissonant sonorities dominates the choral writing while accompanying harp, celesta, piano, and percussion add a sparkling brilliance to the musical texture.
