- 12th century Old English poetry & Adam of St. Victor
- Instrumentation
SATB chorus, oboe, viola, harp
This is a setting of two twelfth-century poems where the choral parts flow in a chant-like way, interrupted by ecstatic bursts, sometimes of purely instrumental colour. Both the singer and the audience will be swept up in ecstasy of the birth and the peacefulness of renewal.
