Messengers of Light (?Les messagers de lumière?) est une œuvre de commande pour l?Orchestre d?Harmonie Swarovski de Wattens en Autriche (Tyrol). Le nom de Swarovski est célèbre dans le monde entier pour ses cristaux au design unique. Cette matière si pure et si étincelante n?est à l?origine que sable eau et feu. Mais lorsque l?alchimie entre ces trois composantes est parfaite la pierre révèle la poésie de la précision à travers un facettage une forme de taille et des couleurs spectaculaires. Ce n?est donc pas une coïncidence si l?empire Swarovski a puisé dans la mythologie grecque pour associer ses cristaux de lumière aux trois Grâces - Aglaé Euphrosyne et Thalie -symboles de splendeur de joie et d?abondance. Du mythe à la musique il n?y avait qu?un pas à franchir. La légende a fait des Grâces les filles de Zeus et de l'Océanide Eurynomé. Elles personnifient la beauté épanouie l?harmonie et le charme. Inséparables elles sont au nombre de trois nombre divin que l?on associe à la Trinité ou encore aux anges Gabriel Raphaël et Michel présents dans la religion chrétienne et dans l?islam et symbolisés musicalement dans le développement de cette œuvre par le chant médiéval Es sangen drei Engel (?Trois anges chantaient?). La ligne mélodique du chant sert de fil conducteur. Elle jalonne et unifie la structure de l?œuvre.
