Description
An exquisite 4-minute unaccompanied double choir (SATB-SATB) piece with text by the 13th-century Persian mystic Jalal ad-Din Muhammad, otherwise known as Rumi.
The piece is very still, pure, and possesses a quiet intensity. Slow moving chords overlap and interweave between the two choirs, building to an ecstatic point before falling away to the serene end.
