10:33; Isaiah
66:13.
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 SSA voices,
cello, organ, and
synthesizer, the music
has a light, ethereal
feeling.
“Beati†can
be taken as a sort of
“Blessed are
they†prefix for
the movements which are
not direct quotes from
the Beatitudes. This is
piece is a Latin setting
of Luke 10:33 (“A
certain Samaritan being
on his journey came near
himâ€) and Isaiah
66:13 (“As one whom
the mother caresses, I
will comfort youâ€).
Quick, florid, and
leaping passages begin in
the solo voice as the
chorus comments and then
repeats those passages.
After that the piece is
basically a duet
structure with only two
measures where the
sopranos divide. Duration
4:44
