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 soprano solo and SSA voices, cello, organ, and synthesizer, the music has a light, ethereal feeling. "Beati" can be taken as a sort of "Blessed are they" prefix for the movements which are not direct quotes from the Beatitudes. This is piece is a Latin setting of Luke 10:33 ("A certain Samaritan being on his journey came near him") and Isaiah 66:13 ("As one whom the mother caresses, I will comfort you"). Quick, florid, and leaping passages begin in the solo voice as the chorus comments and then repeats those passages. After that the piece is basically a duet structure with only two measures where the sopranos divide. Duration 4:44 |
