In the choral parts, an expressive lyricism predominates, revealing Siegfried’s affinity for chant and early music. A balance between accessibility and challenge is maintained throughout.
This is the first movement, O Oriens, based on the Advent text, enlighten those who dwell in darkness. Mostly unaccompanied divisi, the organ intermittently plays a melody as if from afar, or quietly supporting the lowest pitches.
