Soft the Evening Shadows Fall

This piece is a calming, yet harmonically intricate new Christmas offering from skilled composer, Ephrem Feeley. The beautiful text by Timothy Dudley-Smith invites us to reflect on the journey of Christ from the cradle to the cross as we renew our own spiritual journey. Though this piece has the gentle, rocking elements typical of cradle songs, it stretches the boundaries of the traditional carol through its use of innovative yet appealing harmonic progressions. With consistency and repetition this beautiful choral piece will be attainable with adequate rehearsal time for SATB choirs of varied abilities.
