Written as an homage to Flor Peeters and Paul Manz, this piece was commissioned by the Oklahoma City chapter of the American Guild of Organists. It is based on the Yiddish folk tune TIF IN VELDELE, and on the texts “Light One Candle to Watch for Messiah” and Psalm 119, “Early in the morning I cry out to you”. A beautiful, introspective piece with a sense of lyricism and longing.
