Louis de Montfort wrote the text used in this setting in the early 18th century. It is a hymn of devotion and total surrender to a power greater than oneself.
The lush extended harmonies proceed from an pedal point and continue in straightforward rhythm making the piece at once accessible yet giving new life to the ancient text. Even the most dissonant moments of the work remain firmly planted in the diatonic scale. The thoughtful voice leading enables this piece to be used in both liturgical and concert settings.
Duration: 4:50.
