#2 from The Greatest of These Eugene Rogers Choral Series-Number 2 from ?The Greatest of These? (No. 1 Unseen and No. 3 Flight) this movement is written on the virtue of hope. Using a rich yet simple harmonic palette that strives to create a sense of nostalgia. Hope here assures that in the darkest ofexperiences when all joy is but a distant flicker of light it serves as a spark for the immortal flame of life that can illuminate even from the deepest shadows.

Over the Rainbow is a standard that has become forever associated with its most famous interpreter, Judy Garland. Her troubled adult years only added poignancy to her guileless interpretation of the song, preserved on celluloid in The Wizard of Oz when she was seventeen. The song would also do something similar for Eva Cassidy whose 1992 version brought her posthumous fame almost a decade later. Arranged beautifully by Christopher Hussey for TTBB choir with Piano accompaniment, this anthem of hope has not lost its bitter-sweet yearning. / Choeur TTBB Et Piano

Light up the darkness, my wondrous star, Our hopes and dreams, my heart and yours, forever shining far. Light up the darkness, my prince of peace - May the stars shine all around you, may your courage never cease. Wherever I am, I will love you day by day, I will keep you safe, cling on to faith, along the dark, dark way. Wherever I am, I will hold on through the night - I will pray each day, a safe return, will look now to the light. Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. John 15:13 / Ttbb Et Piano
