Written for the Enchanted Voices CD, this is one of many settings of texts either from the Beatitudes (or springing from them) available from this composer. For soprano solo and SS chorus (there are two measures of SSA divisi), organ, and handbells, the music has a light, ethereal feeling. The cello begins on a chant-like melody which the soloist repeats. Then all voices take up the melody. The length of the perhaps unfamiliar Latin text is offset by the simplicity of the beautiful vocal line. Duration 6:04
