Evening Comes is the first piece in a series of commissions for the Saint Cyril's Music Series and is composed specifically for an evening service. Cardinal Newman's prayer, suggests a quiet, hushed, prayerful attitude which is evoked by an abundance of suspensions and resolutions within a relatively conservative harmonic context. The beginning tempo marking of Espressivo is intended to convey a feeling of rubato throughout, but not overly so. The fortes should never be thunderous, but the pianos should be exquisite, with the final amen eliciting a sense of renewed beginning rather than a final ending.l
