The souls of the righteous, Sheet music Book

The souls of the righteous Sheet music

Sheet music

Description

for STB soli and unaccompanied SATB choirThis unaccompanied motet was first performed at the dedication of the Battle of Britain Chapel in Westminster Abbey, London, and has an accordingly sombre tone.

It opens with a haunting treble/soprano solo, and this ethereal atmosphere continues with unexpected harmonic shifts and hushed vocal writing.

The words are taken from The Wisdom of Solomon (3: 1-5) and convey death as peaceful for those who have been 'righteous'.

This motet would therefore be particularly well-suited to funeral or memorial services.
