And Darkness Covered the Face of the Deep

This original work paints a musical interpretation of light coming from total darkness. It begins with an ethereal section featuring singing bells, a haunting handchime line, and optional Burma bells pierced by quick stabs representing light. A dramatic B section written in 7/8 time transitions to a gentle and peaceful 4/4 section, closing in a bold and dynamic G-flat major. Dynamics are critical to the interpretation throughout. Mart lifts, tower swings, LV passages, and thumb damps are perfectly placed to further emphasize this beautiful tone poem. This is a must-have for your Level 4 and higher group's repertoire!
