Darkness Into Light
"Darkness Into Light" is a two-movement work intended to be used at Easter. The combination of the familiar hymns "O Sacred Head, Now Wounded" (PASSION CHORALE) and "Christ the Lord Is Risen Today" (EASTER HYMN) with narration creates a powerful statement connecting Jesus' suffering and resurrection. Optionally, the two pieces may be played separately, with or without the narrations. There are only a few special techniques, making this ideal for beginning choirs or more advanced choirs with limited rehearsal time.
