Description
for SSSA unaccompanied.
The sustained homophonic opening creates an ethereal sound-world, mirroring the reverence of the text of this Eucharistic hymn. The exquisite vocal lines that follow create simple but effective polyphonic writing. The motet concludes with declamatory ‘alleluia’s. The music has been transposed up a minor third.
