Voices of light (2001)

Humanity sings - In the infinite - The oneness within - The naked circle - How God comes to the soul

( Effortlessly, love flows from God into man ; All things are too small to hold me ; You who want knowledge ; Tighten to nothing the circle that is the world's things ; I descend on my love )

... Commissioned by Westminster Choir College of Rider University for Westminster's 75th Anniversary ...
