O Radix Jesse by Polish composer Pawe ukaszewski is arranged here for unaccompanied SSAA Chorus with divisions. Pawe ukaszewski is part of a younger generation of Polishcomposers who specialise in sacred and choral music. After studying composition and receiving two Ph.Ds ukaszewski's work has been performed throughout Europe and the rest of the world. Thiscomposition O Radix Jesse is a setting of the Magnificant antiphons used in Christian advent and Catholic Mass. The haunting harmonies created by the unaccompanied chorus inthis composition are sure to remain with audiences for a long time having been intricately crafted by this master of spiritual music. Please note that the lyrics are inLatin. David Lindley in the September 2015 issue of the Organists' Review writes that ukaszewski's music 'is often compared to that of Górecki Pärt and John Tavener and this piece manifests thefamily resemblance.'
