Composed by Mikael Carlsson. 20th Century,A Cappella,Christian,Contemporary. Octavo. 14 pages. Soundtracks Live #4411861. Published by Soundtracks Live (A0.916731).This colourful setting of the "Agnus Dei" makes use of subtle dissonance and powerful divisi writing for SATB choir, with an astounding and highly sonorous climax for 16 parts. As the text itself, the piece's recurring main idea is repeated three times, to be performed sostenuto and in order to slowly build the piece to its surprise ending.
Suitable for liturgical use or as a stand-alone a cappella concert piece. Due to its striking originality, the piece lends itself perfectly to use in competition. It was featured in the World Choir Games in Riga, 2014.
The composer later re-used the piece as the only a cappella piece in his 2015 "Requiem".
Choral score with piano reduction, 15 pages. Duration: 6:00.
