An emblem that transcends cultures, religions, and time periods, the flickering candle offers a message of joy, hope, and peace that can reach every human heart. Start with the spark of a single voice on the opening solo, and then light your choir's inner flame when the entire group joins. Simple, with a folk-like quality; artful, as the composer explores dark versus light, major versus minor.

Imagine the opening solo in darkness. Light increases as the choir begins, growing to full brilliance when three luminous lines intertwine. A lux aeterna refrain is sung in resonant harmony, with touches of shimmering dissonance on cadences. One final tone cluster at the end ignites shivers. This inspiring text provides a personal credo to live with light. Download the optional violin obbligato for free.
