” ‘The Desert Shall Bloom as the Rose’ is a solemn, introspective look at the first steps of a long journey,” Mazur said of his composition. “The title references the book of Isaiah 34 and 35:1-2, (“The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose.”) as an acknowledgement that, though there is hope and promise of joy and peace, often the road to such bliss is difficult.”
