The extremely compositional versatility of Enjott Schneider is evident even in the small(est) form of choral music. In his about four-and-a-half-minute sacred choral work Ubi caritas for six-part mixed a cappella choir (SSAATB), the award-winning composer combines various musical elements like freely created Gregorian near-quotations, unison passages, sounds of fifths and colourful harmonies, frequent changes of time, as well as meticulously graded dynamic levels into a harmonious whole. Imbued with calmness and sensuality, the church music composition is based on the text of a Latin antiphon from the Maundy Thursday liturgy. According to the composer, these anonymous verses represent for him the central statement of Christian faith: Ubi Caritas - Where there is love, there is God!
