Five short, rhythmic settings of Latin texts (taken from a Roman Missal given to the composer on the occasion of her birth) which can be performed individually, but can also be perfomed as a set. They are all scored for SSAATTBB choirs, and the high and voices of the choir often sing antiphonally in joyous opposition to each other! The fanfares are:
1. Cantate Domino
2. Exulta, Filia Zion!
3. Dies Sanctificatus
4. Laetentur Caeli
5. Hodie Christus Natus Est
The fifth fanfare is also available in versions for SSAA/SSAA and TTBB/TTBB and has been perfomed on numerous occasions, including version on two different commercial CD recordings.
