Description:
This setting of a verse from Psalm 43 ('Send out your light and your truth; these themselves led me forth, and they brought me to your holy mountain and to your holy place') with a Gloria Patri was commissioned by the Schola Cantorum of Cardinal Vaughan Memorial School on the occasion of the school's centenary in 2014. Although composed for a school choir, this piece is a significant addition to the repertoire of Latin motets for mature choirs in the composer's oeuvre. Composed primarily in homophonic movement structure, the 4-minute piece displays a full range of moods, tempos, and dynamics that illustrate the youthful affirmations of the text.
