Det guddommelige lys by Ludvig Norman — Lyrics
O du rene Glands for Anndens Öie!
over Dagens trange Scene,
over alle solbelyste Höie
hæver du mig, hæver du mig, du allene.
Dybest inde i mit Tungsinds Gange
kunde du mit Hjerte finde.
Som en frikjendt, lysbegjerlig Fange
saae jeg dig, min Sol oprende.
Morgen röde for mit Mulm herne den,

About Det guddommelige lys
Ludvig Norman's Det guddommelige lys is a setting of a Norwegian text for SATB choir. This is a secular song, a Lied in the European tradition. The text speaks of divine light overcoming darkness, sorrow, and despair. The narrator describes being lifted above earthly troubles by this light, finding solace and a path towards healing. The music expresses this journey from a place of sadness to one of hope and resolution. The choir conveys the profound emotional shift as the individual moves from 'Tungsinds Gange' (the depths of melancholy) towards 'op mod Lyset' (up towards the light). It is a rich and evocative piece for a choir seeking to explore themes of spiritual and emotional renewal through music.
