measure soprano solo sung to lines from tenth-
century poet Grigor Narekatzi's Book of Mournful
Chants: "Don't let the light that You've given me
die, And don't desert my mind. But let the one
who serves You Praise You again and again." The
repeated responses "He lives in us as True Light"
and "God gave the world True Light" give solid
impact to every phrase. School and church choirs

feel of this extraordinarily soulful choral!

this music, varies with the mood of the lyrics
from simple chordal support at the beginning, to
harsh rhythms, to rapid "sunburst" patterns, to
sorrowful descending lines which lead the choral
expression, articulated in a similar manner as the
accompaniment. Exquisite!
