O
Salutaris Hostia is one
of Eriks Ešenvalds'
most popular pieces.
Originally written for
female voices, the
composer later created a
version for full choir on
which this arrangement is
based. It has a gentle
meditation with the two
soloists drifting across
the soft band
accompaniment,
alternately echoing and
imitating each other or
joining together in
thirds. The effect is
quietly ecstatic, a brief
moment of adoration and
wonderment. This
arrangement can be played
with either two cornets
or two euphoniums as
soloists as the
accompaniment works just
as effectively with
either.
