Program Notes
The work was written right about the time of Hurricane Andrew during the Summer of 1992. The witnessing of a rushing wind out of nowhere and disrupting the lives of many people affected me tremendously right at a time when I was in search of spiritual peace. Witnessing a natural act of God such as this storm prompted me to seek a religious perspective in the writing of this work, The Eleventh Hour (The Act of God). As this storm rushed through with no warning, I rushed through the reading of the Bible to aimlessly get a quick understanding of my life and my existence here on earth. I observed this power greater than man, in the storm and compared it with the written Word. One tends to not think about how great God's power is until something like a storm hits. My need to understand this "Master Power" was just as forceful as the storm. Upon the destruction of the hurricane, I began to understand my relationship with God. Realizing oneness with God and becoming aware to one power and presence in the universe was revealed to me through spiritual growth. Lift off was slow, but through patience soon I began to see the world, my world. -- Lettie Beckon Alston
