''Voices of Light'' is a 1994 musical composition by Richard Einhorn. It was inspired by the silent film ''The Passion of Joan of Arc'' directed by Carl Theodor Dreyer. Live performances of the composition have accompanied screenings of the film. The libretto is based on excerpts from a variety of ancient writings, most of it from Medieval female mystics. It is scored for a small orchestra, chorus and soloists. ==Background== In the 1980s, Richard Einhorn was developing a large piece on a religious subject when a friend suggested Joan of Arc as the subject. While sifting through the archives of the Museum of Modern Art, he found a still from the movie ''The Passion of Joan of Arc''. After watching the film, he set to work on the entire piece. The piece premiered in February 1994 as live accompaniment to the Dreyer film at the Academy of Music in Northampton, Massachusetts, performed by the Arcadia Players and the Da Camera Singers under the direction of Margaret Irwin-Brandon.
