Triumph of the Resurrection

This piece was commissioned by Truro Anglican Church for Christmas Eve, 2017. This year, the season of Advent took on a new meaning for me as a father, and now a full-time church musician. When asked to write a few instrumental pieces for our services at Truro, I knew I wanted to begin our services with a short, and reflective piece that served as a transition from the season of Advent to Christmas. The title comes from an anonymous text written in the 7th century that was used at Vespers during Advent. The music is mostly original, however, I quoted two popular carols, Silent Night and Once in Royal David's City, and was influenced by the text below:

Creator of the stars of night,
Thy people’s everlasting light,
Jesu, Redeemer, save us all,
And hear Thy servants when they call.

Thou, grieving that the ancient curse
Should doom to death a universe,
Hast found the medicine, full of grace,
To save and heal a ruined race.

Thou cam’st, the Bridegroom of the bride,
As drew the world to evening-tide;
Proceeding from a virgin shrine,
The spotless victim all divine.

At whose dread name, majestic now,
All knees must bend, all hearts must bow;
And things celestial Thee shall own,
And things terrestrial, Lord alone.

O Thou whose coming is with dread
To judge and doom the quick and dead,
Preserve us, while we dwell below,
From every insult of the foe.

To God the Father, God the Son,
And God the Spirit, Three in One,
Laud, honor, might, and glory be
From age to age eternally.

-Unknown author, 7th Century (Conditor alme siderum); translated from Latin to English by John M. Neale in the Hymnal Noted, 1852.

Recorded live by Richard Goe, Truro Anglican Church. December 24th, 2017.
