For SATB (with divisions) a cappella.
This dramatic setting of a 5th-century Ambrosian hymn perfectly epitomises the jubilation of the text. Rhythmically complex and involving some tricky melismatic passages, it is particularly suited to cathedral choirs and concert performance.
Commissioned by the Musicians Benevolent Fund for the Festival of Saint Cecilia Service and first performed by the combined choirs of Westminster Abbey, Westminster Cathedral, and St Paul´s Cathedral under the direction of James O´Donnell, Westminster Abbey, 21 November 2007.
Duration 6 minutes
