The language of this early work is a gentle and classical style a la Mendelssohn.Tollite hostias is the last of ten movements in the Oratorio de NoÙl. The text is taken from Psalm 95 and the choral writing is strikingly simple.This transcription may be performed without the choir parts. (Choir ad. Lib and Concert Band)
