David Bednall: Salvator Mundi: Mixed Choir: Vocal Score

Composed for Matthew Redman and Colston s Girls School Chamber Choir this is a gentle and expressive setting of Salvator Mundi ideal for upper-voice church choirs and cathedral choirs.The text is particularly associated with lent and its implorations for mercy lend it a solemn and penitential atmosphere. The dark key of Bb minor reflects this mood and the long-drawn expressive melody unfolds over a sensuous chromatic accompaniment.
