Candles of Grace: A Service for Tenebrae

Maundy Thursday Choral Cantata

April 17, 2025
7:00 - 8:00pm

The Hickory Chancel Choir, directed by Tim VanNasdale performs "Candles of Grace: A Service for Tenebrae," written by Joseph R. Martin & Brandon Nix, complete with live orchestral accompaniment.


A musical “service of shadows,” Candles of Grace is filled with emotive texts and deeply expressive music portraying the events of the Passion. A thoughtful orchestration adorns this chamber cantata with refined beauty and grace. From the delicate opening phrases to the fragile whispered ending, this work is essential for remembering and experiencing the suffering of the Lord.
