Description:
The Requiem "Light Shines in the Darkness" is a composition for viola solo and mixed choir. John Høybye sets a text by Edward Broadbridge to music. The predominantly English-language poem contains Latin text passages, particularly from the requiem mass, as well as the motto "Lux in tenebris lucet" (Light shines in the darkness). Similar to the "sister work" by the team of authors, "Psalm 151" (Carus 10.113), the string instrument and choir enter into a dialog. The viola represents the light or the voice of God and the choir represents humanity, which is led through the darkness of death. A work full of beautiful melancholy sounds, but also with rousing rhythms that give hope and light in the darkness.
