Cecilia McDowall: God is Light: Gemischter Chor mit Begleitung

This anthem sets lines from Psalm 139, 1 Thessalonians, and 1 John, moving from an unsettled tonality at the beginning, through anguished false relations and wistful expressivity, to find triumphant resolution in a blazing A major at the end. Like all of McDowall's music, it is well crafted and singable.
