Colorful choral sonorities emerge over a steady heartbeat piano part in this contemporary treatment of the traditional Latin text. Composer Jacob Narverud remains faithful to the tonic scale degree throughout, creating plenty of ethereal cluster chords as the piece unfolds. A contrasting spoken section quotes a biblical verse about perseverance. Impressive in concert or contest.

A bombastic and stately theme, based on stacked modal harmonies, gives a triumphant air to this contemporary setting of the traditional Latin text. Hushed B and C sections offer contrast before recapitulating the grandiose opening and an even fuller final cadence. Timpani, tubular bells, and triangle (which may be downloaded for free) may be performed by a single percussionist and add to the riveting drama.

UPC: 785147880202. Latin. Text Source: From the Latin Mass.
Agnus Dei is a standard Latin text from the Mass, and is part of the Ordinary (the five or six sections of the Mass that remain the same from day to day). With the repetition of the first line of text, the heartfelt prayer of petition and yearning is in three parts. This setting follows the tradition of using similar music for the first two statements, with some contrast in the music for the concluding dona nobis pacem..
