Come Back Like the Sea sets words from Sara Teasdale's poem 'Ebb Tide', in which the author uses the metaphor of the ocean's tide to symbolize life's inevitable ups and downs. The music captures the text's sea imagery and strong sense of yearning with a captivating opening soundscape that includes improvised sea sounds from the Basses, melodic lines that ebb and flow like the tide, and an expressive piano accompaniment that weaves throughout the work.

Dr. Nadia Kizenko joins Ariana Hones (MDiv '25) in conversation to discuss Kizenko's research on Orthodox liturgy in Ukraine. The conversation is twofold. First, Kizenko explores the liturgical practices of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church and the Orthodox Church of Ukraine. She discusses how these two competing churches, both which can claim canonical status, respond liturgically in times of crisis. Second, Kizenko speaks about her most recent project creating a vesper service and how liturgy functions as a means to include or exclude different identities. Throughout the conversation, Kizenko makes the case for paying close attention to liturgy and the ways in which Orthodox tradition across time provides elements of subversion for its participants.
