English. Text Source: Luke 1:29, 30. Text by Thomas George. Scripture: Luke 1:29, 30.
It's the prayer text in its traditional form, set to a somewhat challenging, motet-like 36-measure piece for (preferably) a cappella SATB voices. Excellent writing with good harmonic interest and liberal use of staggered entrances. The kind of piece that will stay in the choir's repertoire indefinitely.
