SATB choir - Early intermediate
SKU: GI.G-RCA435
Composed by Joanna Forbes L'Estrange. Advent. Royal School of Church Music. Sacred. Octavo. 12 pages. GIA Publications #RCA435. Published by GIA Publications (GI.G-RCA435).Text Source: 7 Advent Antiphons.
Inspired by the seven O Antiphons traditionally sung immediately preceding Christmas. L’Estrange begins with a refrain that floats over a drone in the lower voices. As the anthem progresses, tight harmonies weave in and out both above and below the drone in a sea of harmony that pleads for the Savior to come. The final chord is a moment of breathtaking beauty.
