Description:
Premiered in 2023 by an American choir and French orchestra in Caen, France, Out of this Darkness: A Normandy Cantata dares to hope for a repentance from the interminable waves of violent conquest. The salty shores of Normandy have washed away more blood than can be measured, and when you perform this work, you can participate in the washing. The new text, written by Charles Anthony Silvestri, puts the story of Normandy into the context of the Song of Moses from Psalm 90. The result is a masterpiece from a highly regarded lyricist. The genius pairing with John Wykoff's music provides compelling melodies with infuences of historical genres and jazz. Out of this Darkness may be performed with piano or with orchestra (full orchestra score and parts available separately).
