Deus, Deus meus

Duration: 06' 00" Year: 1980, r. 2005
for eight-part a cappella choir

  • Instrumentation
    SSAATTBB
  • 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?’.
