Come, my Light, and illumine my darkness.
Come, my Life, and revive me from death.
Come, my Physician, and heal my wounds.
Come, Flame of divine love, and burn up the thorns of my sins,
kindling my heart with the flame of your love.
Come, my King, sit upon the throne of my heart and reign there,
for you alone are my King and my Lord.
Amen

Dimitri of Rostov in 1709:

From tender stem hath sprung!
Of Jesse’s lineage coming
As men of old have sung

O come, little children, O come one and all,
To Bethlehem haste, to the manger so small,
God’s son for a gift has been sent you this night
To be your redeemer, your joy and delight.

The Vancouver Chamber Choir premiered this buoyant jubilant composition. The triple meter waltz tempo captures the spirit of the season perfectly. Imitative entries and the sound of church bells make this song ring!

The Latvian Radio Choir is one of the finest choral ensembles in the world.  Listen to the recording of Imant’s masterpiece.
“Stabat Mater occupies a very special place in my lifetime of musical memories. I am sure that many people have particular associations of certain creations with a time and a place and a stage in their lives. In the case of the Stabat Mater, it was written in the summer of 1979 when I was stationed as a back-country ranger at Berg Lake in spectacular Mount Robson Provincial Park and various ideas worked out in my daily patrols on foot.”
