Performed by the St. Olaf Choir and conductor Anton Armstrong. Commissioned by the St. Olaf Festival in Trondheim, Norway (Olavsfestdagene). The text was found in a concentration camp after World War 2: I believe in the sun, even when it's not shining. I believe in love, even when I feel it not. I believe in God, even when He is silent. The piece is published by Norsk Musikforlag in both SATB and SSAA version. www.norskmusikforlag.no www.kimarnesen.com  less
