Tu es Petrus (you are Peter, the rock) is based on a Gregorian antiphon for the Feast of Saints Peter and Paul/Feast of the Chair of Peter. The piece was composed specifically to fit the parameters and setting of a Papal audience, with a brief performance time. In six-parts with octave doublings, it makes a big a cappella sound for a big space. A powerful new choice for pilgrim choirs to Rome!

A lilting choral accompaniment evokes pizzicato sounds surrounding the tenor melody in verse one.  The other verses are set more conventionally but still reflect the goals of our Christmas with The Singers series: that the audience will enjoy the famliarity of the carol but be enchanted by the creativity of the arrangement. Challenging, but masterful in how Matthew Culloton treats the ensemble as a self-sufficient choral idiom. Duration 2:30.

Scripture Reference: Luke 2:6-14 * ancient Latin text with a 19th century translation as well * Christmas carol of intensity, yet with a gentle lilt * demanding yet rewarding vocal writing with a high tessitura * like the Gregorian chant, modal with a slightly modern flavor * occasional six-part writing adds brilliance and depth * slower pace demands good breath control and stamina.
