- Libretto by the composer, with text selected from the letters of Georgia O'Keefe and Alfred Stieglitz. Based on Letters from Georgia.
- "Renée [Fleming] proposed exanding [Letters from Georgia] to include an equal part for Stieglitz ... which would encompass their years both together and apart, from the first cautious exchanges between the two artists, through their impassioned and complicated relationship, to the years long after Stieglitz' death, when I imagine O'Keeffe writing to him even still. By design, all the music from Letters found its way into The brightness of light"--Composer's website.
- Commissioned by a consortium of orchestras.
