Description:
Diemer's powerful writing brings life to this favorite text by Hildegard von Bingen (1098-1179), building the women's chorus slowly to a punctuated fortissimo, before bringing the work down to a final, long and fading chord. The better high school or college choirs will enjoy the dynamics and flow of this sumptuous work, easily a centerpiece on the program. Latin text.
