Description:
Commissioned for Choral Arts Northwest who gave its premiere performance in 2011 under their artistic director, Robert Bode. The music is primarily contrapuntal in texture, and its tonal language features a certain level of dissonance but within a diatonically modal context. There is a textual climax about two-thirds of the way through, mirrored in the music: a short quieter section follows, leading to an ecstatic 'Gloria' conclusion. Duration: 3:40
