David Childs and Vox Humana (Texas) -
Sure On This Shining Night
With everything going on in the world with the pandemic, and now with the fires burning in the Western US, we all need comfort. My family is safe and secure and healthy. It is all we can ask for now.
This week the world needs Morton Lauridson, the great American choral composer. The other day Grant Gershon, the director of the LA Master Chorale and his wife and soprano soloist Elissa Johnston performed a duo version of SURE ON THIS SHINING NIGHT in their living room as a Facebook video.

I am not a big fan of Facebook, but if you don't mind their ads, it is a beautiful rendition, just remember to hit the little button in the lower right corner to turn on the sound.

Lauridson wrote this song in 2005, and it became and instant classic with choirs around the world, Here is a beautiful version with celestial visions.
