A piece for Advent that refers both to hope and to the image of a new shoot rising from a stump (Isaiah 11:1).
The melody of part of this piece was inspired by the song "Deus, em tua graça, transforma o mundo!", the music for which was written by Louis Marcelo Illenseer. More information about that song can be found at the following website:
