From Glory to Glory (2023): Movement 2) Light
05/10/2023 Duración: 07minThis is the second of eleven movements in the updated and expanded 2023 recording of my From Glory to Glory suite. The angels rejoice in God’s creation of light and “dance” among the stars. "From Glory to Glory" is available as a high quality wav file album on Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/psw_music/sets/from-glory-to-glory-2023 From Glory to Glory is a little under 70 min long suite of contemporary classical music, reflecting on the biblical story and Christian spirituality, drawing upon an eclectic fusion of musical influences.

A solo piano plays three musical lines, the third of which is generated from the interaction of the first two, representing the way in which God the Father is the “root” of the Divine “triad”, God the Son eternally depends upon the Father, and God the Holy Spirit “proceeds” from the Father and the Son. The piece is also Trinitarian in having three sections. It ends on an unresolved chord, suggesting the eternality of the Godhead.
