Agnus Dei
by Christopher Ducasse
SATB with piano – CP 2064 – duration 2:45

This classic text from the mass has been set by many composers for centuries. Christopher brings a grandeur to the text with long melodic lines in sweet spot vocal registers – very approachable. The music has an impressive build to a golden-mean climax. The piano accompaniment flows and supports the singers. Singers and listeners will love this contribution to the music world.

binding humanity and divinity forever.

Lo! o’er ancient forms departing
Newer rites of grace prevail
