VOX CLARA for SSAA chorus and soprano solo

Dear conductors,

my piece “VOX CLARA” for female choir (SSAA) and soprano solo is now available at Edition ICOT.

You can also have a taste here of how it will sound with Matthew Curtis’ and his assistant Rachel Schoenecker’s voices.

And this is the English translation of the Latin Text.

1 Hark, a joyful voice is thrilling,
   And each dim and winding way
   Of the ancient temple filling ;
   Dreams depart, for it is day.

2 Christ is coming — from thy bed,
   Earth-bound soul, awake and spring —
   With the sun new-risen to shed
   Health on human suffering.

3 Lo, to grant a pardon free,
   Comes a willing Lamb from heaven ;
   Sad and tearful, hasten we,
   One and all, to be forgiven.

4 Once again he comes in light
   Girding earth with fear and woe ;
   Lord, be thou our loving might,
   From our guilt and ghostly foe.

5 To the Father and the Son
   And the Spirit, who in heaven
   Ever witness, Three and One,
   Praise on earth be ever given
