Text language:
Latin/English.
Inte
restingly, Ayres combines
the Latin text of the
hymn with his translation
here: in the style of a
free motet-like cantus
firmus, he interprets the
Latin text impressively
in music, making use of
glissandi, wide leaps and
unison twelve-tone linear
construction for the
dramatic second verse
with its deceptive vision
of night. He places the
motet sections after the
translated text, but
quite simply with the
Gregorian cantus firmus
and in the style of
medieval organum, however
with interesting,
diatonically written
dissonant sounds. This
rewarding piece is
challenging, but well
worth singing in a
concert or church
service.

grand finale to
Christopher Tin's second
album 'The Drop That
Contained the Sea'. The
lyrics are a setting of a
Lango rainmaking prayer.

Orchestra with the Soweto
Gospel Choir. New York
Concert Review wrote of
the Carnegie Hall
premiere “The
audience reacted after
the final notes with the
loudest and longest
standing ovation I have
ever heard at any
concertâ€, while The
York Press wrote
“We Overcome The
Wind was an outpouring of
joy; a unanimous standing
ovation evinced the sense
of togetherness at the
heart of this
concert.â€.
