Performance NotesThis hymn offers the image of darkness as the place where God's silent, imperceptible love reaches out tous. This is in contrast to the vision of darkness as the place most void of God's presence. Inspired by theworks of St. John of the Cross, the piece works well whenever the liturgy attempts to reach out to thosewho are experiencing God's darkness: the sick, the dying, the homeless, the desperate. In addition to thefuneral and anointing liturgies, this song finds an obvious home during the early part of the Easter Vigil,sung perhaps in darkness before the lighting of the new fire.
Holy Darkness is quiet but not lifeless; serious but not somber. Even though it touches often painful,barren places in our souls, there is still a glimmer of hope in the feel of this song.
Though composed originally for keyboard, this piece works equally well with guitar accompaniment. Itshould be picked rather than strummed, using a simple, unobtrusive pattern.
As for tempo, this is one of those pieces that calls for much rubato to enhance the expression of thephrases. Do not let the accompaniment become mechanical.
The Refrain and Verses are in dialogue with each other. In the Refrain we sing of our darkness and ourwillingness to embrace it, while in the Verses God names our experience of the darkness and reassures usof the holiness of our night. Because of this, there should be a slightly different feel to the Verses andRefrain.
