SATB choir
SKU: MR.OMP-RBS003
Composed by Benedict Sheehan. Musica Russica #OMP-RBS003. Published by Musica Russica (MR.OMP-RBS003).The wellknown Kievan Communion Hymn melody I will receive the cup of salvation serves as the basis for this composition. Taking a lead from some of the best composers of the new Russian choral school, Benedict Sheehan treats the cantus firmus in motivic fashion, weaving a varied and changeable polyphonic texture, rather than a simple harmonization. The musical interest generated by the writing makes this a festive liturgical setting as well as an effective concert piece.
