SKU: MN.56-0024

Composed by Howard Goodall. 21st Century. Duration 6 minutes, 43 seconds. MorningStar Music Publishers #56-0024. Published by MorningStar Music Publishers (MN.56-0024).

UPC: 688670220296. Latin. Matthew 5:3-11.

Written for the Enchanted Voices CD, this is one of many settings of texts either from the Beatitudes (or springing from them) available from this composer. For two soloists and treble chorus (SS,) organ, cello, synthesizer, and handbells, the music has a light, ethereal feeling. The text is set entirely in Latin in a chant-like style, first by the soloist with all voices joining as the piece progresses. Marked by rhapsodic melismas, the music is meditative but joyful. Duration 6:43

 
Instrumentalists play from the choral score.
