Mixed Choir a cappella

SKU: BT.PMC3676

Mixed chorus a cappella. Composed by Morten Lauridsen. Score Only. 8 pages. Peermusic Classical #PMC3676. Published by Peermusic Classical (BT.PMC3676).

These two anthems are examples of Lauridsen's style in embryo, as it were, for both were written while the composer was just twenty-seven years old. Both anthems evince the contrapuntal mastery that would prove an enduring featureof the composer's technique. The pure and austere lines of I will lift up mine eyes, an a cappella setting of Psalm 121, evoke ancient organum and the imitative devices of Medieval polyphony. Complex chord structures and elaboratecanonic procedures give O come, let us sing unto the Lord a sense of inexorable forward momentum. The coruscating organ part further enhances the prevailing mood of joy that pervades this anthem. --Byron Adams.
