Description
The familiar carol, "Silent Night" was writen by Franz Gruber after a Christmas Eve storm left the church without electricity to power the lights and organ. Lit only with candelight, Herr Gruber led the congregation in singing accompanied only by guitar.
CandleGlow has been compared to the petals of a flower slowly opening, gradually reassembling the deconstructed and fragmented pieces of "Silent Night" until finally the carol is revealed. Colorful use of pitched percussion over shimmering chords paint a sonic portrait of flickering candlelight, reflecting off of the faces of children and families as they gather for a candelight service.
CandleGlow was commissioned by the Ohio Valley Symphony and was first
performed in December of 1998.
