John Luther Adams' The Light That Fills The World for Chamber Ensemble (6 players). Score and parts. Duration: 13 minutes. 'The Light That Fills The World' was written in late winter andearly spring when - following the long darkness of winter - the world is still white and filled with new light. If the unrelenting texture of this music embodies stasis I hope its prevalent tone evokes the ecstatic.The title of the piece is borrowed from an Inuit song which sings of the close relationship between beauty and terror risk and revelation.' - John Luther Adams Fairbanks Alaska August 1999
