Work Overview
Night/Light is the fifth song in the 7-movement work 'All Flesh is Fire', a 30-minute choral song cycle setting poetry by Kate Llewellyn.
This song is a warm and rich-toned hymn that expounds the virtues of possibility and impermanence, as embodied by the night sky. It contains a line from Father Andrew Bullen SJ's poem Ceremony - 'All flesh is fire held in time' and it is from here that the full cycle takes its name. Kate Llewellyn quoted and footnoted this beautiful line in her original poem "Faith", the source poem for the full work.
