The Longest Night

Created by Joseph M. Martin

"The Longest Night" is a unique winter service of devotion that has a very special ministry focus. This introspective smaller work is intended to be a worship service that encourages those going through times of sorrow and grief during the holidays. Inspired by the solstice winter's longest night, this service of music, scripture and prayer brings light into the darkness and offers hope to those in deepest need. A small consort orchestration adds a fragile intimacy and brings a healing ambience to this singular service of song.
