Synopsis of the piece: 
The Unsleeping Ones tells the story about how St. Alexander the Unsleeping, recognized in the AOC, received a message from God about how to achieve unceasing prayer. He failed to achieve this earlier in his life when he was a priest, but succeeded by establishing his own monastery. He divided the monks into twenty-four groups that rotated in shifts on the hour, so prayer never stopped. In the cantata, this story is told from the perspectives of two arch angels Selaphiel and Jehudiel. Selaphiel is the angel of prayer and Jehudiel is the angel of the Lord’s glory. This symbolism was pertinent to the story and its message. Outside of the religious narrative, the main theme of this piece is the idea of perseverance through trials and tribulations. The main message of this piece is to recognize and celebrate all people who persevere to realize their dreams.
