Format : Vocal Score
Vagn Holmboe (1909-1996) was a 20th century composer in the neo-classical style widely recognised as the most important Danish composer since Nielsen. He is best known for his symphonic works solo concertos and chamber music but his choral a cappella compositions are worthy of the same merit. Holmboe’s Opus 59a is taken from his second collection of Liber Canticorum and consists of three movements: Benedic Domino Anima Mea - Hominis Dies - Benedicite Domino. The texts are taken from the Old Testament and the music is scored for unaccompanied SATB Choir.
