We Are the Light
Words and music by Andy Beck
Item: 00-52287
Voicing: SATB
Alfred Choral Designs
Available: SATB, 3-Part Mixed, 2-Part
"In the dark of night, we are the light"---an inspiring concert theme for any time of year. Rich long-tone sonorities lay the foundation for what becomes a brilliantly textured second verse when the altos add their unique perspective. Encourage a warm forte and true legato on the fully harmonized, lightly syncopated chorus. A soaring descant achieves new heights on the final refrain. Just before the closing cadence, a single voice makes the metaphoric message shine. Notice a hint of gospel at the uplifting call-and-response bridge, which declares "light" to be "hope . . . love . . . peace . . . grace . . . truth . . . and joy."
