Light Triumphant Breaks is a Sarum introit composed for the second Sunday of Advent. Bednall sets a translation of a Greek text using dancing dotted rhythms and intricate articulation. A free use of metre and contrapuntal movement make this a lively and jubilant piece that would be enjoyed by church and cathedral choirs alike.
