The Light of Hope Returning

Description

The Light of Hope Returning is a concert-length “ceremony” of folk carols in which a number of Kirchner's best-loved Christmas settings “Lo, How a Rose, Brightest and Best” are combined with newly-penned carols on Christmas, Winter Solstice, and New Year's themes. Together these carols form a dramatic arc that takes a listener on a journey from distant hope through darkness into the rebirth of light and true hope for the future!
