You'll encounter the majesty of God's creation and precious seasons of life from first light to sunset. The Word Was God by Rosephanye Powell captures the moment of creation as McDermid’s From Light to Light immerses us in earth, fire, water and Ešenvalds wonders at the Stars. We yearn for spring as “the narrow bud opens her beauties to the sun” in Dove’s Passing of the Year with poetry by Blake, Dickinson, and Tennyson. Encounter “the sea, sunset and darkening blue” in Clausen's Tonight Eternity Alone as MacMillan invokes a Radiant Dawn to shine on those in darkness. Music by Hagenberg and Chilcott and Elder’s Elegy reassure us that “as we go, this we know, God is nigh.”
