on those within its hearing.

Your Light Has ComeJon Paige. Written in a
light Classical style, this buoyant Epiphany piece is
a good choice for the season. "Arise and shine"
is the blessed admonishment to the children of
light, and this tuneful interpretation captures the
joy of God's glory that came to earth. The hide-a-
carol that forms the middle section (
TEMPUS ADEST
FLORIDUM)

length, along with the SAB voicing, make this a
thoughtful choice for post-Christmas services.
