An homage to the 168 victims of the Oklahoma City bombing disaster on April 19, 1995, A Light Unto the Darkness is a very emotional work. Beginning unsuspectingly, the listener hears the noises of traffic, country-western and jazz music and the mechanics of oil wells. The center section deals with the disaster in loud explosions and unyielding dissonance. A mournful English Horn solo and flugelhorn call are followed by a reassuring closing that reflects Gillingham's sentiment in the piece: "we must all seek to be a "light unto the darkness" - to find good amidst the evil."
