Andy Beck.
The
traditional Ubi Caritas
text is uniquely set as
an uptempo jazz waltz.
Just one sentence in
Latin plus a few English
lyrics make it clear that
this song is all about
charity and love. As
you've come to expect
from this composer, the
canon is a true
skill-builder---with a
modal melody that moves
from unison to two and
eventually three
independent layers (using
descant singers for
2-part choirs). Don't
miss the jazzy flute
obbligato available free
online.
