Another image from rehearsal:
From late in the second act: Tobiah comes home with a cure for his father. The song sets Tobit 11:9-15. For the final refrain, three singers conclude:
Tobit:
I can see my son, the light of my eyes.
Blessed be God, O blessed be God,
and blessed be all God’s holy angels.
Anna:
Praise God all throughout the ages, Alleluia!
Tobiah:
Praise the holy name of God, Alleluia!
My eight-year-old nephew inquired, “Is this classical music?”
