Composed by Rosalie Bonighton. Parish/Cathedral. Choral, General. Octavo. Paraclete Press #0226. Published by Paraclete Press (PL.0226).This most thoughtful text is set to music of lyrical expressiveness. Ms. Bonighton has chosen a text of Delores Dufner, OSB that shows the many-faceted longings for Christ. ". . . as the weeping wait for mirth, as a farmer waits for harvest, and a woman waits for birth, so do I wait for You:" each verse displays vivid images such as these. Each verse ends with a refrain of longing:". . . so do I wait for You." The voices are treaded in fourpart harmony and as duets and solos as well. As the Pauper Waits for Plenty is a splended anthem for the Advent season.
It has that absolutely-right, dusty-sage e-minor Advent affect. - The Rev. John L. Hooker, D.M.A. "The Journal of the Association of Anglican Musicians" September 2002.
