“A Light Has Dawned” is four-movement, 15-minute work composed for the 2023 summer tour of eurobrass. It contains powerful, sensitive, and virtuosic ensemble writing as well as three cadenzas, for euphonium, horn, and trombone. The movements alternate between depictions of darkness and light.
This 13-part edition is an adaptation of the original 12-part version as performed by eurobrass. See also these versions for 12-part brass ensemble and 10-part brass ensemble.
The inspiration for this composition comes from an ancient Jewish text from the 8th century B.C.:
The people who walked in darkness
have seen a great light.
On those living in the land of the shadow of death,
a light has dawned.
