SACRED CONCERT & SPIRITUALS
True Light—Keith Hampton. Opening phrases
of the traditional spiritual This Little Light of Mine
launch this exciting work into Keith Hampton's
original words and music, which feature a
sixteen-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 will revel in
the spiritual depth and driving rhythmic feel of
this extraordinarily soulful choral!
