The popular Dylan quote 'Do not go gently into that good night' was never far away from the composer's mind while composing Light Eternal. In many ways, the piece tries to invoke the sentiment of that famous poem, although it does not necessarily 'rage against the light'. Composed in 2004-05 on commission from CBC Radio, Light Eternal is intended as a memorial for conductor Wallace Leung who passed away suddenly in 2002. The composition is marked by a number of solos for various members of the orchestra, the longest solo occurring at the beginning for the cello. Other solos ensue for members of the woodwinds and brass. A short, quiet chorale punctuates the conclusion of the solo sections and musical attempts to draw the restless soloists to a more peaceful state, harmonically speaking. But the soloists resist being drawn into these lulling tonalities by choosing to sit outside the pitches of the chorale's tonality. Interspersed within these solos are passages featuring the strings. A sense of timelessnesse is suggested by repeated harmonic patterns. These patterns occur twice with the first pattern growing to a brilliant cadence, only to have it suddenly fade away, paled with sadness and a sense of unfulfillment. The second phrase, occurring at the conclusion of the piece ends with a much more reassuring cadence. The solo cello returns and finally reaches a moment of relative peace and quietly acquiesces to the gentle lure of the chorale at the end of the piece.
