Silent Night

My goal with this arrangement was to capture the atmosphere of a spiritual darkness - not just including feelings of peace and joy, but also worry and hesitancy by blurring the line between major and minor. The melody often goes unfinished, returning to the theme of the opening statement. There are also melodic references to "Night of Silence" by Daniel Kantor. The piece is quite harmonically complex to mirror the complexity of the sacredness and spirituality that can be experienced in times of silence and darkness.
