Cast Your Nets

This striking song is scored simply for two-part choir, with keyboard, guitar, and solo instrument (treble instrument in C and cello) accompaniments. Syncopated rhythms energetically capture the spirit of the lyrics, retelling the account of the casting of the nets found in the Gospels of Luke and John. The tonal trajectory from opening E minor to the cadential G major deftly captures the narrative thread of night to day, darkness to light, and struggle to fulfillment.
