SPIRITUALS & GOSPEL SELECTIONS
t Vox Populi—Giedrius Svilainis. "The voice of the
people is the voice of God..." Vox populi, vox Dei
opens with a fortissimo fanfare-like passage in
B-flat major. The basses then introduce a marcato
ostinato, followed by the tenors with a rhythmically
contrasting theme. The women enter together, with
syncopated rhythms, then all voices unite at the text
"Ubi Concordia" ("Where there is unity"). The music
of the opening fanfare returns to conclude this high-
energy a cappella work.

Ht The Word Was God—Rosephanye Powell. What
an impact this august work will have on both choir
and listeners! Compositionally, this is an excellent
piece using impressive techniques that are truly
captivating. The rhythmic structure develops from
the superb interplay between the voices, and the
layering of sound upon sound creates a musical
tapestry. Written in an almost spiritual style, but
definitely not a spiritual, this will make a stunning
choice for larger or festival choirs!

Ht Lux Aurumque—Eric Whitacre. Upon reading
Edward Esch's poem Light and Gold, composer Eric
Whitacre was immediately struck by its genuine,
elegant simplicity. He asked the celebrated
American poet Charles Anthony Silvestri to translate
it into Latin for this seminal work for mixed choir
a cappella. A simple approach was essential to
the success of the work, and Whitacre waited
patiently for the tight harmonies to shimmer and
glow, weaving a rich choral tapestry of light and
the soft singing of angels for the newborn child.
A Christmas text, but the effect is timeless.
