Description
CHOIRS HAVE SUNG A FORM OF THE TEXT OF THE “AGNUS DEI” FOR MANY CENTURIES. CONTINUING IN THAT TRADITION, DANA MENGEL HAS WRITTEN AN ANTHEM IN THE CLASSICAL TRADITION ALLOWING SINGERS TO ENJOY THE RICHNESS OF THE TEXT IN ENGLISH AND LATIN. PIANISTS WILL FIND THE ACCOMPANIMENT OF AVERAGE DIFFICULTY AND WILL ENJOY PLAYING THE FLOWING ACCOMPANIMENT. THE SOPRANOS OPEN THE ANTHEM WITH SOFT LEGATO STATEMENTS OF THE TEXT “HOLY JESUS”. MENGEL EMPLOYS WARM CHORAL HARMONIES AS THE ANTHEM BUILDS IN INTENSITY. DIRECTORS WILL WANT TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF SINGING IN LATIN TO WORK WITH CHOIRS IN CREATING UNIFIED VOWEL SOUNDS.
