The Lord Is My Light

There is an unrelenting confidence in this anthem which affirms the faithfulness of God in the life of the believer. This joyful declaration of hope is set to a vigorous musical concept, with a rhythmic ground that sets the stage, establishing a sturdy gait before the melody joins in. A contrasting chorale-like moment provides a respite from the energy of the opening before handing the anthem back to the forces of power and praise, and the final Coda is truly spectacular!
