Radiance Untethered (CD)

Accompaniment - []

This beautiful recording from the Missouri State University Chorale conducted by Cameron LaBarr features John Wykoff's Out of this Darkness: A Normandy Cantata, a work that 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 engage with this work, you can participate in the washing._x000D_

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 influences of historical genres and jazz. (Out of this Darkness may be performed with piano or with orchestra.) A wonderful showcase recording of the work of master composer John Wykoff!
