Richard
Allain presents a
beautifully sombre and
gentle setting of the
Salve Regina for SSAATTBB
chorus. Allain's close
harmonies are set across
a staggered texture,
creating a seamless
continuous halo of sound
with each syllable
melding into the next.
The effect is developed
as the density of the
music builds, allowing
each singer a level of
metric freedom that
allows a series of
repeating phrases to blur
into an undulating layer
of sound against which
the lower voices sing. A
captivating and hugely
atmospheric devout
setting.
