Matsushita's setting of a hymn for Pentecost is a dialog between women's choir and piano: while the choir develops its melodies from the Gregorian hymn, the piano provides a counterpoint with the minimalistic sounds of fourth and fifths, together with short independent motives related to the text of the hymn. Corresponding to the chorale, the meter changes continually, as if floating. The choir is treated homophonically throughout and, in preparation for the climax of the piece it is briefly divided into six parts at the words pacemque dones protinus (true peace bring unto us). One again Matsushita proves himself a master of economy in his use of compositional means; thus his works of new church music are appealing, effective, and they express humility.

The delicate harmonic beauty of this piece is truly stunning. Though short in length, there is immense opportunity for magical expressive moments. With close harmonies weaving in and out of consonances and unisons and flowing passages paired with moments of rhythmic energy, there is so much music to be made. A repeating ending of layered melodies that gradually fades al niente will have your audience holding their breath. Composed as a set of three compositions, also look for Day of Fire and Sun (15/3898H) and Home–Thoughts, from Abroad (15/3844L).
