Aeterna Via 

 

There is a road that winds through anticipation and wonder, exhilaration to disorientation, and ultimately—toward home. Aeterna Via (The Eternal Way) traces that journey across seven movements. With a cinematic flow, the music unfolds seamlessly from one movement to the next, as choir and orchestra share equally in the role of storyteller, and each movement is titled to mark a new stage of the journey.

​

The English and Latin texts are drawn from diverse sources, expressed through the philosopher, the mystic, and the Psalms. At the height of the journey, the music reaches a moment of stillness, and a solo violin offers a quiet remembrance of home. As the work closes with the words of Boethius— “Te cernere finis” (“to see you is the end and the beginning”)—it suggests that this journey may be more than physical, inviting reflection on a deeper longing for a true home where even the most weary heart may find rest.
