This year also sees the debut of a competition piece with Saunder Choi's El Vasto Mar to be performed by all the choirs making it to the Finals.
This new commissioned work features lyrics in Spanish lifted from Sampaguitas y Poesia Varias by Filipino poet Pedro Paterno. The words describe the stark juxtaposition of the wild waves above and the peaceful waters below of the seas, somehow mirroring the condition of the country during that time. The piece conveys how music serves as a universal language to promote unity, peace, and harmony among different nations.
