Tenebrae (Latin for “shadows”), was originally conceived for English horn and string quartet, but is heard here in an arrangement for trumpet and organ. Its instrumentation, serenely flowing lines, and modal flavor somehow suggest eternity to my ears, but in any case, it is a sublimely beautiful work.

In Memoriam reflects a personal tragedy, but it stands on its own as an example of how a piece can integrate the modern and the traditional. Sampson succeeds in giving a contemporary musical expression to the emotions of loss and grief. Moreover, he has written one of the most genuinely beautiful pieces of serious modern music in recent years.
