Norwegian composer, Kim André Arnesen’s Even when He is silent is now published both in mixed choir or SSAA choir. The text for the piece 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 was premiered only a few days after the terrorist attacks in Oslo and Utøya in 2011.
The St. Olaf Choir and conductor Anton Armstrong performed the piece on their 2013 Norway tour, and you may listen to their performance here:
