Description
This substantial work is based on an old English hymn which describes ones journey through the turmoils of life to one that is brighter and full of hope hence the title To the Palace of Light. The brooding opening gives away to a turbulent section followed by very lyrical settings of the original hymn and finally a faster jig-like episode. Elements of the hymn can be heard all the way through the work. A wonderful way to conclude a major concert or festival.
