Following a powerful opening fanfare, this artful piece features an upbeat style followed by a contrasting middle section that looks into the night sky to see shafts of light streaming through the piano accompaniment. With a Latin text based on Psalm 100 and the Nicene Creed, David Giardinere's setting highlights the themes of thanksgiving and joy that characterize the lyrics. A pronunciation guide and translation of the Latin text are included.
