BrookWright Music: Hope (Nathanael Watchorn)

A deeply reflective work, shaped by themes of serenity, renewal, and spirituality offers the perfect lyrical interlude for bands in concerts.

Hope
  The latest release provides a welcome reflective interlude for bands

'Hope' is a deeply reflective work, shaped by themes of serenity, renewal, and spirituality.

Composer Nathanael Watchorn creates a work of gentle strength and stillness of a benedictory chorus. Its sense of calm and assurance sees Watchorn illuminate its emotional core from words of a benediction.

The Hope of Christ

Those come from his father, Major Julian Watchorn, whose poetic text 'The Hope of Christ' speaks of grace, love, joy, and the sustaining power found in Christ. The verses provide a clear spiritual lens that give meaningful and deeply moving moments of stillness amid the noise of modern life.
