The Night Will Shine as Day was commissioned by the Bedford Junior High Treble Choir under the direction of Hannah Ware in 2022. Composed with a spirit of perseverance and hopefulness, the text (paraphrased from Psalm 139) shares a message to have faith even during the darkest days, and a reminder that a light will always shine through the darkness if we have the courage to see it.Featuring a flowing piano accompaniment and lyrical (optional) horn solo, this piece was written with an equal relationship between the major mode and the minor mode (as demonstrated by the alternating piano harmonies, neither chord revealing a clear tonality.) This tonal obscurity represents the relationship between dark and light: a somewhat codependent relationship through which the melody struggles to find stability. As the understated chorus reveals and repeats the core message of the text, the melody gains confidence in its role among struggle between light and dark. The piece concludes with a final triumph of light over dark, this time with harmonic clarity and hopefulness for the future.  .
