We Are Limitless

We Are Limitless is commissioned by and dedicated to students of the Ohio Northern University choral program and their director, Dr. Brandon Magid. The students all responded to prompts about what singing in choir means to them, and I then created a pastiche text-libretto combining parts of all of their responses. The result is a text that is aspirational, hopeful, and inspiring, all supported by music of energy, warmth, and connection. -- Dominick DiOrio, February 2025

We Are Limitless

On a libretto created by the composer from text responses submitted by students in the Ohio Northern University choral program, Dr. Brandon Magid, director.

When we sing together, I feel limitless. When we sing together, I feel a fullness in my heart and joy.

I feel inspired, connected. I feel tethered, loved, and valued. I feel compassion and emotional.

I feel colorful, powerful, emboldened, embraced. I feel connected, understanding, safe, and understood. I feel every way you can possibly feel and I feel no way at all.

I feel at peace. I belong somewhere. I feel empowered, like I’m not alone. Like I’m home.

When we sing together, I feel limitless. When we sing together, I feel a fullness in my heart and joy.

I am a part of that music. I become the music. I become myself. And I become a part of something bigger than myself.

It helps to take away all of my nerves. I have an outlet to express myself. It brings me a satisfaction nothing else does. A sense of warmth flows over me, I want to be here.

When we sing together, I feel limitless. When we sing together, I feel a fullness in my heart and joy.

I love when everything sounds balanced.
I love all the emotions that it brings to the surface.
I love that we are everyone from all the walks of life.

I love that music let’s you get it all out.

It’s a safe space where you can come and just be you With empty hands and no harm done. It’s homebase and like looking into the future. It’s pure magic as we just let go.

When we sing together, we are limitless. When we sing together, we are full of heart and joy.

And as we open up, we create a bond that stays with us long after the last note is sung.
