Out of This Darkness: A Normandy Cantata
Premiered in 2023 by an American choir and French orchestra in Caen, France, this six-movement work dares to hope for deliverance from the interminable waves of violent conquest. The salty shores of Normandy have washed away more blood than can be measured, and when you perform this work, you can participate in the washing. The text by Charles Anthony Silvestri puts the story of Normandy into the context of the Song of Moses from Psalm 90. The pairing with Wykoff's music provides compelling melodies with influences of historical genres and jazz. It may be performed with piano or with orchestra (full orchestra score and parts available separately).
