Heavenly Voices

This variation on a 16th century French metrical originates from Fumant Sabaeis. There are such amazing textures within the rich soprano tones and the orchestral movement. It inspires a calming sensation as its lyrics rise in joy, imploring us to find peace. I have chosen this piece on several occasions to use as a solemn processional for funerals.



The lyrics:
Anima mea My soul
Mane! Wait!
Quanta Qualia How great and how wonderful
Conventus gaudia The joys of the meeting
Erunt Will be


Quanta Qualia
