Tomaso Albinoni‚ Adagio has inspired this alluring choral adaptation by prolific composer No?´l Goemanne. Hints of this classic melody are found throughout the four-part texture. Beginning with a simple pulse in the keyboard, the men state the initial theme in unison and fifths. The vocal writing takes some interesting harmonic turns and contains wonderful solo passages. A keyboard interlude introduces a duet between soprano and tenor and leads us to a concluding homophonic choral section. Agnus Dei will also serve well as a concert performance piece.
