This composition was written for the New York Pops Orchestra in 1990 and has subsequently been extensively programmed by professional and non-professional musical ensembles in varied performance venues. It is a rhythmic yet lyrical setting of the liturgical Latin text which has been used with much success on both Holiday and general-purpose programs.
This work was originally scored for SATB chorus and large orchestra: WWs in 3s, no organ required. No soloists.
