Stained Glass

Step into the grandeur of a cathedral brought to life through music and light. From the solemn foundation of iron and stone to the radiance of light streaming through glass, this show blends original music with themes from Bach and Palestrina, building to a majestic finale that will dazzle your audiences.

  • Iron and Stone - begins with a brass chorale performing Palestrina's Kyrie from Missa Papae Marcelli, followed by a massive climax, mixing excitement and gravitas. The energetic opener includes chant-like low brass melodies, woodwind and upper brass flourishes, and energetic punctuations from the full ensemble.
  • Light and Glass - an original piece based on the first phrase of a Bach chorale (commonly associated with the hymn "Break Forth O Beauteous Heavenly Light"), features a soprano sax solo, but could fit any woodwind.
  • Majesty - as all the disparate pieces of the cathedral come together, this movement features a long, dynamic build to the finale, featuring original music.

Alternate themes: Gothic, Stone and Light, Frozen Light
