Written for the Wheaton College Christmas Festival, this work with a text by Christian mystic, Hildegard of Bingen, should feel very free, personal and almost improvisational. The close harmony requires careful attention to balance among the parts and is worthy of any fine women's choir. / Choeur SA A Cappella

Third in a series of songs which set medieval sacred lyrics to music for treble chorus (I. Ad Amore, II. O frondens virga), this piece features driving and propulsive rhythms which feel entrancingly relentless. Close harmonies conjure color and shimmering textures throughout.
