Product Description

This short (2'30") and emotionally powerful motet for unaccompanied SATB chorus sets the verse of John VII:18 from the Bible. The music is dramatic, filled with contrapuntal invention, and attains a high level of expressive intensity. It is a commentary on the self-serving nature of people and their transient "glory" as opposed to the highest glory for people who listen to a higher power as their spiritual source. The musical style is tonal (with some free harmonies), in relatively simple rhythms, and reflects the composer's debt to Renaissance music as an inspirational fount.
