From Darkness to Light is a major work that presents settings of the Requiem Mass alongside settings of the poetry of Ryland Baldwin written during the height of the Korean War. Mr. Baldwin was with the First Marine Division in 1950 and was involved in the Battle of the Chosin Reservoir. The poetry that came from that experience is both gripping and deeply moving. Jonathan Willcocks writes with both power and sensitivity. Appropriate for concert use. Performance time: 30 minutes.
