Duration: circa 3 minutes

Carmina lungas pacis et caritas Sempiterno cum desideravit; Voces veniunt angulis terrae, Praeter tamen semper conventus.

Singing together of peace and love

While longing for eternity, Voices from the corners of the earth, Though set apart, are forever bound in unity.

Words: Mark Strachan (1958 - ); adapted by Andrew Hawes (1954 - )

Composer’s Note

Performers will notice that this piece is in the pure, unadulterated key of C major. While this has an enormously positive impact on atmosphere by creating a sense of simplicity and transparency, a lack of even the most subtle modulation means that a performance runs the risk of losing buoyancy. Buoyancy, therefore, must be created through a strong and engaging pulse and an awareness of the underlying lilt of the phrasing. Alternating choral textures (semi-chorus and tutti) provide inbuilt contrast, but this should be enhanced by expressive dynamic phrasing and a clear sense of the subtleties of the text. There must always be an air of prayerful meditation as well as a driving towards climaxes at the appropriate points.
