VI. Season of Light (2017)
Music and Text by Jacob Narverud (b. 1986)
Notes from the Composer:
“I wrote Season of Light for my friend and mentor, Judith Clurman (conductor of Essential Voices USA), to invoke the feeling of a simple, old fashioned holiday carol or hymn. This brief, two-verse tune invites all people to bring to mind thoughts and remembrances of the season and to reflect on this meaningful time of year.”
Come sit by the fire and share stories of old
Bright visions of time and of wonders we’re told
Surrounded by comfort and stillness of night
We live in the memories of the season of light
Come join in the cheer of the fresh falling snow
Where wonder and radiance set hearts all aglow
For a moment on Earth all that’s wrong turns to right
And we’re warm in the spirit of the season of light
