SECULAR All Voicings medium
Agnus Dei (Requiem)—Jay Althouse.
This setting of the traditional Agnus Dei Latin text
from the Requiem Mass was specifically written to
honor the memory of the numerous victims of the
senseless mass shooting tragedies of the summer
of 2016. With a very open harmonic texture, almost
a cappella with its minimalist piano accompaniment,
this setting weaves between consonance and
dissonance with simple contrary vocal lines over
an insistent single note that tolls in the piano until
all voices combine in meditative, somber harmony.
This piece will evoke a reflective moment in your
concert or worship setting. A pronunciation guide
and translation are given for the Latin text.

strain falls out of tune. Shadows steal across a
lonely moon. I miss you so..."
