James Biery brings a new perspective to these traditional Latin hymns with new four-part strophic settings. With singable voice lines of modest difficulty, these motets have an expressive and beautifully shaped structure. The Latin texts are traditionally used at Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament; the English texts (which are not a translation of the Latin) will find frequent usage as short anthems or as Introit and Benediction responses in Protestant services.

Includes:
O Rise and Sing
O salutaris hostia

Lord, Dismiss Us with Thy Blessing
Tantum ergo Sacramentum.

From the mysterious to the glorious, Biery perfectly captures the wide-ranging moods of this text, set to the enduring tune EBENEZER. This hymn concertato was written for the Schola Cantorum of Concordia Theological Seminary, Fort Wayne, Indiana in observance of the 500th anniversary of the Reformation. So, it's no surprise that the setting has considerable sweep and gravitas, with some fresh harmonic twists. A beautiful choir-only section spans stanzas three and four in major tonalities that nicely complement the staid minor of the rest of the hymn. The sixth and final stanza is unison with descant and concludes with a choir Alleluia and Amen. Stirring and majestic. Duration 4:00.
