At eventide it shall be light

This gentle SSA setting of a deeply comforting biblical text from Zechariah would serve well during a reflective season, perhaps Lent or Advent, or at the close of a service. Gaul’s music offers solace and hope, portraying the promise of peace and the overcoming of sorrow. The straightforward English text, with its message of ultimate redemption and the passing of earthly troubles, is treated with a flowing and accessible melodic style, making it a suitable choice for a choir seeking an anthem that is both musically fulfilling and spiritually uplifting. The composer’s sensitive approach ensures the message of light overcoming darkness is clearly conveyed.
