O Aula Nobilis is a festive work, composed for the opening of the Natalie L. Haslam music center at the University of Tennessee. After the opening unaccompanied chant in the women's voices, the music, though clearly based on the chant melody, takes on a highly rhythmic, asymmetrical and angular character, with a bright and resonant quality. / Choeur Mixte (SATB) Et Piano
