This melody came from a work for choir that I never ended up writing — in that piece, I set a line from the Catholic Our Father: “Panem nostrum quotidianum da nobis hodie”, which translates to “Give us this day our daily bread.”
The title, Rozana (रोज़ाना) in Hindi means ‘daily’, or ‘day after day’ – a ritual that becomes part of who you are.
That daily bread, the thing that keeps us sustained, both physically and spiritually, might look different for every one of us. What is your daily bread? What sustains you? And how do you invite it into your life with each new day?
