This piece is a fascinating antiphon and its story has meaning for our experience with COVID-19. I read this article in the New York Times on Saturday, January 2, 2021. Click on the link below the section of score to read the article. I’ve included a recording of The Choral Project performing this piece in 2015. The soloist is Mike Fotinakis.

Love the percussion in this
Bruce, this is so beautiful I’m tempted to return to the Roman Catholic Church.
If there were a parish here that sang like the Choral Project, I might just go with you, Mike!
Thanks, Bruce, for bringing this beauty to our attention. I will be exploring the huge playlist that NYT has provided. Thankfully, the sections are relatively short!
Beautiful. The article also contained music, so I felt like a triple treat.
I’ll keep you in mind, Dianne Saichek.
