Joseph M. Martin: Somewhere in the Silence: Gemischter Chor mit Begleitung

A very interesting poetic perspective is explored in this anthem that considers the silence, shadows and mystery of faith, reminding us that truth is sometimes revealed in moments of quiet contemplation and in times of seeking. The American folk hymn Jesus, My Song in the Night clarifies the Source of our answers, and arching melodic gestures with lush harmonies infuse this piece with a theatrical sweep that really connects.
