Choral Choir (SATB) - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.482270 By Ildar Khannanov. By Ildar Khannanov. Arranged by Ildar Khannanov. Baroque,Contemporary,Easter,Multicultural,Sacred,World. Octavo. 14 pages. MThRI #102033. Published by MThRI (A0.482270). This triptych is the focal point of the mass. It is written as three numbers attaca. Et incarnatus est is a set of sequences in an invertible counterpoint that ends with the transition to Crucifixus. The Crucifixus is rendered as a continuous repetition of a single tone (the B) by the baritone solo (Christ) on the background of choral responses in the late-Romantic harmonic language (neo-Riemannian, equal-division of the octave, Yavorski's Tritonal equilibrium, etc.). The bariton part is given a note beyond the baritone range. Extended techniques are welcome here. The high sopranos continue the ostinati in the background of the low piano octaves. The Et resurrexit is written as a pure atmospheric phenomenon--disappearing in clouds. The triptych ends with a quotation from the Gospel of St. Luke read by the baritone. THese three numbers can be performed as an anthem during the weeks of Lent or Easter.
