Truly the Light Is Sweet (2010), a setting of verses from Ecclesiastes, was written in celebration of the restoration of Appleton Chapel, The Memorial Church, Harvard University.

“Truly the light is sweet, and a pleasant thing it is for eyes to behold the sun. Rejoice, and let thy heart cheer thee in all days, and walk in the ways of the heart, and in the sight of thine eyes.” (Ecclesiastes 11:7, 9, alt.)
