This stunning a cappella work is carefully crafted to bring it well within reach for many choirs. A wonderfully lush and sonorous tonal palette is sprinkled with moments of prepared dissonance and close harmonies. The middle section quotes the Requiem chant tune. A perfect contrasting pairing with Trotta’s rhythmic and popular Dies Irae..
