Holy Is the True Light

Voiced for a cappella double choir (SSAATTBB) and making effective use of added-tone chords and modal harmonic progressions, this brilliant setting of Palmer's translation from the Salisbury Diurnal will be a satisfying challenge for advanced choirs. The lyrics focus on the topics of faith and light, especially the eternal light of heaven, and close with a festive string of "alleluias," making it an excellent choice for All Saints liturgies.
