Choir directors will no longer bemoan the lack of meaningful Chanukah material when they take notice of this piece. The sheer beauty of this absolutely gorgeous, uplifting piece alone makes it destined to take its place among, and forever alter, the canon of Chanukah songs - and beyond. Original English lyrics serve as bookends to the Ma'oz Tzur prayer and lend the piece to a universally applicable theme of hope, unity, and freedom.
