To Set the Darkness Echoing

This intriguing composition, marked by its innovative sounds and haunting orchestration, is a tribute to Martin Luther King, Jr. The composer's intent was to capture the way Dr. King inspired profound change by leading us to see how we, not others, were behaving – and thus “set the darkness echoing,” according to the words of poet Seamus Heaney. This dramatic and thought-provoking piece will truly inspire. (8:00)
