Raymond Weidner
has created an
atmospheric and beautiful
work for high voices.
This Lenten text is set
to close harmony and a
harp part of gracious
beauty. Most of the work
is quiet and inward, only
bursting into a wider
range at key moments in
the text. The final
alleluias are stirring in
their sweep and make a
memorable impression on
the listener. The work
closes in the same quiet
feeling in which it
began. O Sacrum Convivium
would make a wonderful
work for both
accomplished treble
choirs and women's
choirs.
This creates
it effects by the
delicate accompaniment of
the harp (or piano) and
the translucent SSA
voices. It is a
contemplative work with
three real vocal lines
throughout and a
beautiful climax. - David
Halls Salisbury Cathedral
