From Dark to Light (2015) 4.5’
This song, a meditation on the human journey through life, is based on the traditional “villanelle” – 19 lines of verse with a specified pattern of two repeating lines, which in this song are: “From dark to light my life must find its way” and “One step and then another into day.” The repeated lines make the villanelle an excellent vehicle for expressing intensified emotion.
