Light Shines grew out of a question I imagine many musicians ask during their lifetime: When confronted with hatred, darkness, violence and fear in this world how do we continue to make music? Where do we find hope in the face of cruelty? Where do we find solace in a world filled with sadness and futility?
Perhaps the answer is in music itself in coming together with many voices to celebrate beauty, to create beauty; hoping together for better things and times to come.
"This will be our reply to violence: to make music more intensely, more beautifully, more devotedly than ever before."
Leonard Bernstein, 1963
Impressionistic and colouristic, this piece features textures imitating wind and raindrops, modal scales, and dramatic dynamic effects.
