The text for ‘Christ the King’ is taken from two poems by James K. Baxter: ‘Song to the Father’ and ‘Song to the Lord God on a Spring Morning’. The title of the piece comes from the feast day of October 25th in the church calendar, and the plainsong for this day is used in the opening and ending of the work. ‘Christ the King’ was written for the Sydney Chamber Choir.

Programme Note

This work for unaccompanied mixed-voice choir alternates bold tonal chords with simple plainsong-like passages. The chordal writing often pits half the choir against the other half, in a type of canon effect. The plainsong-like passages are underpinned by simple repetitive drones. The text, set here in Latin, is part of the Tract for the Mass for Palm Sunday, and includes the well-known entreaty ‘My God, why hast Thou forsaken me?’.
