Carry the Light—Andy Beck. Inspiring at any
time of year, this song brings light from a single
solo voice that gradually increases luminosity as
the full texture builds. Mostly in English, with a
short section on the Latin Lux Aeterna text, this
is a gorgeous way to spread light, hope, and
joy. Add the optional violin obbligato to increase
the appeal. Consider programming for general
concerts, Christmas, or year-end ceremonies.

song of peace that uses light as the metaphor
for connection to each other, making it a great
piece for any time of year, including a holiday
performance. While scored for three-part mixed
voices, the third part is optional, so it works as a

is also optional but adds a beautiful touch.
