AFTERLIGHT UTOPIA is a sacred-cinematic oratorio for choir and soloist—a hymn of release and arrival. At 74 BPM in G major, it moves from spacious verses into big, jubilant refrains, with an aria bridge floating over sustained choir “ah.” The ensemble blends pipe organ, piano, strings, and low-brass swells, with a side-snare present throughout: light cross-stick and buzz rolls in the verses, a firm backbeat in the refrains, and a long press roll into the final cutoff.
What it’s about: turning grief to bread, fear to peace—stepping through mercy’s door into a country made of light. Not an ending, but arrival.
For fans of: modern choral/oratorio, cinematic sacred music, soaring opera vocals.
Specs: 74 BPM • Key: G major • Length: ~4:00
Vocal forces: SATB choir (strong lows) + lyric operatic soloist with warm vibrato
Form: Verse 1 → Refrain → Verse 2 → Refrain → Aria (bridge) → Verse 3 → Final Refrain (key lift) → Coda “Amen”
Selected lyric:
“Do not mourn—celebrate this day.
I am free of pain; I am free of nightmares.
Love receives me, wide and great.”

Two Songs from Porgy and Bess
2 songs from George Gershwin’s opera Porgy and Bess (1934). These are It Ain’t Necessarily So, a very popular song sung by Sportin’ Life, a drug dealer presenting his cynical views on the Bible, and I Got Plenty O’ Nuttin’ in which Porgy sings about his poverty with a happy-go-lucky outlook on life. Skillfully arranged by master arranger Johan de Meij.
