Arranged
for SATB choir, two
keyboards, strings, and
optional harp, with
soprano, tenor (optional)
and baritone soloists,
this fresh and unorthodox
interpretation reflects
on the words of the Latin
Mass by juxtaposing them
with poems in English.
For soprano solo and SATB
choir, this movement
begins with the choir on
the English text by
Phineas Fletcher (1633).
A 32-measure soprano solo
follows, which covers the
majority of the English
text. The soloist then
begins the
“Recordare,” a calm,
descending melodic line
with the choir singing
the opening “Drop,
drop” motif as
accompaniment. The choir
then concludes with the
slow, descending lines
“Jesu pie, Jesu pie.”
Duration 4:04.
