"There Are Days" - A Song to Inspire and Connect

“There Are Days”
by Paul Taranto and Jamie Wax
Filmed by Michael Roth
Performed by Emily Knight ‘18 on closing night, two years ago this week, of Episcopal’s production of "Evangeline, the Musical"
​

Art provides tremendous inspiration in good times and in bad times. Episcopal arts department chair Paige Gagliano provides connection and support during this time of distance learning by reminding us of the classic "Evangeline" song "There Are Days." Read more from Paige below.

We’d like to share the song “There Are Days” from Episcopal’s production of "Evangeline, the Musical." This clip is from Episcopal’s closing night of "Evangeline, the Musical," two years ago this week, on the Episcopal stage and features Emily Knight ‘18. The show was composed by our very own Paul Taranto and written by Jamie Wax. We premiered the original musical at Episcopal in 1998 and this show was a source of hope at a difficult time for members of our Episcopal community.

​It is our hope that this song once again unites our Episcopal community through hope and promise.
“I was around when the team breathed life into Evangeline, and I was at the first public performance at Episcopal all those years ago, Evangeline in Concert in Greer.  This song, to me, is a song of being connected.  It is a song not just of love, but of hope and promise.”   ​Bridget Henderson, Lower School Division Head

“The ending lyric is what speaks to me the most ‘help me find a way to live within those precious days.’ Evangeline needs Gabriel to live through her dark times – she needs the ones she loves. She reminds us that in our dark times we need each other, through virtual communication and support. We cannot and will not let this situation separate us. Together we will find a way to live through these days as a community." ​ Charlie Roth, Junior, Episcopal School of Baton Rouge

Thanks for the reminder. I was present at the initial shows, road trips to Lake Charles,Shreveport and Oak Alley as well as this 2018 performance. Then and now the music brings tears to my eyes. I hope and pray as everyone is; that with all we are dealing with--- that it will be "Worth the Wait"

Thank you for sharing the song. I, too, was at the first performance and went to many more of the productions both at EHS and elsewhere. Truly a wonderful play with fabulous music. I am still waiting for it to open on Broadway. Paul and Jamie are so talented.

Thank you EHS for sharing this.

EHS has been a constant source of support and community in my life since 1977.

I truly love every member of our EHS family.

Be safe, remember if you need anything anytime - all you have to do is reach out. We got you.
