Programme Note

The text for this work is a short poem by Lucille Clifton (1936-) suggesting an intense religious experience and part of the traditional Latin ‘Magnificat’. The choir is accompanied by pre-recorded sounds which are mostly bell-like sounds, some deep and some very high. Holy Night was written for Opus to sing at the 2000 Secondary Schools Choral Festival.
