Meditation No.2
Publisher Desc.
The Invisible, Now Revealed is a reflection upon the story of the
angels appearing to the shepherds and announcing the birth of the Son of God,
as recorded in the second chapter of the Gospel of Luke. It starts out slow and quiet as an
uneventful night on a country hillside might be. Then, suddenly, the music
bursts with sforzandos and a flurry of movement like the unexpected
appearance of angels with a message of praise and glory. The passage in Luke
ends with Mary, the mother of Jesus, pondering all these things in her
heart, and the music ends quietly again in pensive wonder. As in the first
Meditation, this one incorporates a hymn tune, this time two ancient hymns
often sung at Christmas: Of the Fathers Love Begotten and Let All Mortal
Flesh Keep Silence.
