Product Description

"Agnus dei" for SSA Womens Chorus, Violin Solo and Organ uses as an inspiration the melody from the aria "Ombra mai fú" from Handels opera Serse. The long, lyrical melody borne forward by the steady, quiet, powerful accompaniment conveys a tranquil sacredness. The sense of entreaty and desire for benediction expressed in the "Agnus Dei" seems a natural fit with Handels famous melody. An instrumental introduction leads to the chorus statement of "agnus dei, qui tollis peccata mundi." An instrumental meditation follows and leads back to the conclusion of the piece. Arrangements for other ensembles are also available (Vocal Solo, SAB, SATB) as well as separate versions featuring the addition of Solo Violin, Flute, Oboe or Clarinet and soloist with chorus. Difficulty is moderate for the singers, violin and organ.Suitable for a sacred setting or the concert hall. Duration approximately 4 minutes. Score and part included. Also available with piano in place of organ.
