English.

A carefully crafted, clearly written choral work. For two-part choir with assembly in mind, this is just the right piece for those occasions when a message of hope is appropriate. Evocative of an early American folk hymn, the lyrical melody is paired with a flowing harmony line in the lower voice and effectively modulates up a whole step to the final verse, placing all voices firmly on the melody under a heavenly vocal descant on the Latin text Adoremus in aeternum. Smaller choirs will love this one.

Featuring artfully interweaving vocal lines, this original setting of the simple Latin text is a quiet meditation and a gentle plea for peace. Rich dynamic contrasts and full, traditional harmonies provide fertile ground for truly expressive singing. A lovely, English text B-section translates the title, the only Latin words required.
