Her sunlight by John Paul Morgan — Lyrics
Glitter, glitter the icy caves,
In the glittering sunlight,
But deeds she breathes, outglitter these,
In her glittering sunlight.
Glitter, glitters the glowing snow,
In the glittering sunlight;

About Her sunlight
John Paul Morgan's Her Sunlight is a secular SATB setting in English. The text explores the beauty of nature, comparing the glittering of ice caves, snow, and waves to the inner light and soul of a loved one. Morgan's music captures this interplay between the external world and internal radiance, creating a vibrant and evocative soundscape. This part-song offers a rich opportunity for expressive performance, allowing the choir to convey the poem's imagery and emotional depth through nuanced dynamics and articulation. The SATB voicing provides a full harmonic palette to paint the "glittering sunlight" and the deeper, more profound "sunlight" of the human spirit.
