Etoile dans le noir; PDF

Etoile dans le noir (Star in the darkness), written for organist Isabelle Demers, contrasts the beauty and love of the Blessed Virgin Mary with the evil, hatred, and violence of earthly human beings. Seven chants appear in the piece, including the four Marian antiphons. Loops in the extreme treble, depicting twinkling starlight, jump to the pedals, now depicting the chaos on earth caused by humans. A central contrasting section leads to a quiet and peaceful conclusion.
