Conductors of many mixed choirs are already familiar with the very popular SATB version of this piece; composer Ryan Brechmacher now provides a version for treble choir. The sheer beauty of this absolutely gorgeous, upliftingpiece alone makes it destined to take its place among, and forever alter, the canon of Chanukah songs – and beyond. Original English lyrics serve as bookends to the Ma'oz Tzur prayer and lend the piece to a universallyapplicable theme of hope, unity and freedom.
