Product Description

The timeless text of the Liber Usualis, "Ubi Caritas," has been a source of inspiration for composers for centuries. Dating back to the 10th century AD, this poem conveys a profound message of love and unity, resonating through the ages. In Jay Dougherty's original setting, "Ubi Caritas" takes on a new dimension, crafted for double choir in an antiphonal style. Drawing from a rich palette of musical elements, Dougherty blends modern pandiatonic chord clusters with echoes of Renaissance polyphony, fugue, and cadences. A noteworthy touch lies in the incorporation of the original chant melody, delicately interwoven within the fabric of the piece. Dougherty's setting breathes fresh life into this timeless text, offering a captivating synthesis of tradition and innovation.

Please purchase one copy per singer.
