When Darkness Reigns

Profoundly moving poetry pours emotion into a bittersweet scene from Christ's anguish in Gethsemane and on Golgotha.  To experience the glory of Easter we must first embrace the shadows of Holy Week. This thoughtful anthem accomplishes the journey with emotive, rich music that sonically paints the deep sadness of the text.  Solid four-part textures create a full sound, and when at last the piece suggests the coming light of Easter, the listener is left with a winsome whisper of hope.
