Florebit quasi lilium
for SATB choir and organ
text inspired by Isaiah 35
"Florebit quasi lilium" was born as an invocation. Isaiah 35 speaks of a time when the desert blooms, the weak rise again, and a voice finally says: "Dicite pusillanimis: confortamini, nolite timere. Deus ipse veniet et salvabit vos."For those who believe, it is a declaration of faith. For those who search, it is the burning hope that such a promise might be true. A soul, suspended between silence and hope, begins to sing.
