Using the imagery of sacred light, this poetic telling of the redemption story is filled with expressive beauty. “A blanket of shadows, a veil of despair, the fate of the world hung in the air.” These words describe a world without Christ. The fragile theme arches longingly to carry the text like a gentle prayer before luminous harmonies caress the words “Let there be Light.” Score and Parts (pno, vn 1-2, va, vc, db) available as a digital download.
