Transfiguration is the final work in a series of six pieces commissioned by the Yale Institute of Sacred Music through the Robert Baker Memorial Fund for Sacred Music. This large-scale project consists of five cantatas concerning miracles performed by Christ and an oratorio on the theme of his Transfiguration. The entire series was premiered by Marguerite L. Brooks and the Yale Camerata over a four-year period (2013–2017). Together, these works constitute Part III of Life unto Life, an extensive seven-part vocal-instrumental cycle that explores the life of Christ from the Annunciation through the Passion, Resurrection, and Ascension.
Transfiguration is composed in five movements for four soloists, chorus, and orchestra. The hour-long work explores aspects of transfiguration from a variety of perspectives, which ultimately connect Christ’s baptism with water to his transfiguration with light, his “second baptism.” Transfiguration is offered to all listeners in a spirit of hope and possibility, and the understanding that our current journey through seemingly insurmountable challenges is part of a process, which is leading us into the greater light of new life.
