A setting of the Phos Hilaron suitable for advanced high school, collegiate, or church choirs. SATB with divisi.
The Phos text acknowledges the light at the end of the day, with the text being said or sung at Evening Prayer in the Anglican tradition, and at vespers in the Byzantine tradition.
This particular setting was written for the 20th anniversary of Canon Musician John Schaefer's appointment at Grace and Holy Trinity Cathedral (Episcopal) in Kansas City, Missouri, and first performed in September 1996 as part of a celebratory Evensong. The anthem won the OPUS AWARD from the Missouri Choral Directors Association for a choral work by a Missouri composer.
