Composer creates music out of poems written by a Corpus Christi nun The world premier of the score will come to life during a concert on May 11 in New York City. Author: Bill Churchwell Updated: 7:32 PM CDT April 23, 2021 CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — A Corpus Christi nun who has written dozens of poems throughout her life is about to hear her words turned into music by a New York composer. It was at Incarnate Word Convent off Lipes Blvd. where we met Sister Lou Ella Hickman. "I decided this was the place that God wanted me to be," said Hickman. She is a member of the Sisters of Incarnate Word and Blessed Sacrament.
