For alto and tenor soloists, SATB chorus, and organ. Both the texts, an anonymous one from the 14th century and one attributed to Pope Clement XI, are prayers. Very simple choral sections, using sustained drones, alternate with more florid solos. The music is almost entirely modal and the textures are designed to 'resonate'.
