Composed by Gabriel Jackson. Sacred choral - mixed voices. New Horizons. Sacred, Choral Leaflet. Vocal score. 12 pages. Duration 5'. Oxford University Press #9780193355552. Published by Oxford University Press (OU.9780193355552).ISBN 9780193355552. 10 x 7 inches.
For SATB unaccompanied. This is an exquisite piece, simple and homophonic in style, and with a luminescent beauty characteristic of many of Jackson's choral works. The piece begins quietly and reverently. There is a graceful soprano solo in the central section, after which the harmony opens out and richly blossoms in ecstatic praise of the Virgin Mary, before ending serenely as it began. Suitable for liturgical or concert use.
