A single candle can expel darkness, yet darkness cannot douse a lit space—a vivid symbol of good overcoming evil. “Expulsion (The Mirth of Light)” captures this conflict through striking polychords; E-flat major and D major collide in the opening passages, evoking the persistent tension of evil in the world. The music builds a compelling narrative of hope, culminating in the triumph of light over darkness

Light’s playful qualities—filtering through objects, revealing colors, and casting warmth—inspire the subtitle ‘The Mirth of Light. These passages, with brighter timbres and lyrical melodies, provide levity during the dissonant struggle between light and darkness (good and evil), reminding us of light’s ultimate victory.
