Lead, Kindly Light

This lyrical, wistful choral anthem for SATB choir with keyboard accompaniment sets an adaptation of a text by Blessed John Henry Newman. Because of its themes of comfort, light, and trust in God, it will work liturgically for funerals and Masses during November. A solo instrument (in C or B-flat) enhances the texture and parts for string quartet are available online for separate download. Set in B minor, it moves along in a flowing 4/4 meter.
